Other than that's prob'ly causing the drive to default to ata/33,
it shouldn't be a problem. Leave it alone for now other than to check
that the HDD jumper is set to master, and the Cdrom to slave.

Try the drive with everything off, and see if the kernel error
persists. Put a hdparm line at the end of rc.local that reads
'hdparm -m0 -c0 -u0 -d0 -k0 -A0' Either a re-boot, or running
'rc.local' should then disable 32bit IO, DMA, and readahead.
You should also go to WD's site:
http://www.wdc.com/service/diagnostics.html and get/use their
diagnostic utility(s) to check your HDD.
You didn't answer, but if you're using ReiserFS you may have to
consider re-installing and using ext2. RieserFS is still beta, and
most users, including myself, can report some oddities with it.
