Check your BIOS settings are corect, and have you enabled LBA for this drive? You might need to enter the C/H/S values by hand, if these are not being detected properly. Is the drive jumpered properly? I have got rid of the errors now from my WD 40GB drive, on the latest 32 bit kernel. Also look in /var/log/messages to see how the kernel initialises the drive. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I now use hdparm from the rc.local script to reset my drive to UDMA 2. Please check the posts I made last week regarding this. Please also read the man page for hdparm. You can use that to get alot of information about your drive, and it's current (U)DMA settings.
