have you set CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE in your kernel? It's in "Device Drivers > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support > Use multi-mode by default" in menuconfig in 2.6.12, and it helped me with that error a while back (in the 2.2 days)... still, all the advice in the thread bears listening-to, especially back up your data!
