Mike,
What's your motherboard maker?

Your motherboard (and most importantly the chipset it uses) are recent,
so 6.2 might not have hardware support quite yet.. 7-CURRENT might be
your next best bet if the following doesn't work.
Here's what I have for my kernel config though for the device drivers
section, related to PATA/CD/DVD stuff:
# ATA and ATAPI devices
device ata
device atadisk # ATA disk drives
device ataraid # ATA RAID drives
device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives
device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives
device atapicam
options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering
# SCSI peripherals
device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device ch # SCSI media changers
device da # Direct Access (disks)
device cd # CD
device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)
Cheers,
-Garrett
