Don't say that to quick. I get that exact error when I have hdparm set my
hd to a mode it doesn't like.
What has change recently? New kernel? You using the ide patch for 2.2?
run this:
find /etc -type f | xargs grep -il hdparm
It'll list files that have "hdparm" in them.
Look at the file and see if it's being run on startup, or when you see this
error...
