If the device does not show-up for lspci then it is probably not
a driver issue.  I would suspect a changed BIOS setting but you
didn't mention the BIOS in between your various kernels so that
seems unlikely.

The only thing that leaves that I can conjur at the moment is an
ACPI problem -- probably bad ACPI code in your BIOS but possibly
a bug in the Linux ACPI interpreter.  If you boot with "acpi=off"
on the kernel command line, does the device either always show-up or
never show-up between the various kernels?
