Well, the patch had not been included into 2.0.5R,
but you should be able to work around the problem.
Just get a boot floppy from the latest SNAP release.
Your system should be probed correctly, and you are
free to install from your 2.0.5 CDROM (guess that's
the reason you are prefering 2.0.5 over the 2.1
snapshots ?)
You'll need to rebuild your 2.0.5 kernel with a one
line fix applied:

let me know if this doesn't solve the problem for you ...
