I've quit using HDD optimizations in the kernel because of
problems like yours, and my HDD's need different settings (WD &
IBM). I also enable 32 bit and DMA for my CDrom and CD-RW.
Read 'info hdparm', it's pretty straightforward. Then you'll
need to add hdparm lines for each drive to the end of 'rc.local'
Here's mine as an example
hdparm -m64 -c1 -u1 -d1 -k1 -a128 /dev/hda
hdparm -m16 -c1 -u1 -d1 -k1 -a128 /dev/hdb
hdparm -c1 -d1 -k1 /dev/hdc
hdparm -c1 -d1 -k1 /dev/hdd
