Without the log from a working system I'm sort of shooting in the dark.  
You can try applying the patch below.  I have no idea whether it will help
or not -- the fact that your drive worked with an earlier version of Linux
suggests that it won't -- but it's worth a shot.

If this still doesn't help, you could try running Linux 2.6.0 just to see
if that does a better job.  Also, you could go to the effort of
downloading and building 2.4.19 (or whatever version it was) and trying it
on your laptop to see if it still works.

No need to apologize.  If everyone was a programmer, I'd probably be out 
of work.
