Since the IDE CDROM driver did not change one whit between 2.1 and
2.1.5, I rather doubt it. :-)

Signal 11 means that something has fallen rather severely on its nose,
and generally a sign of a system much more deeply unhappy than just an
upgrade alone could account for.  Are you sure there's no conflicting
hardware in this box, or something which changed recently with its
configuration?  What happens if you re-install 2.1, does the
installation succeed?
