I'm having this issue with a vostro 1700 and  2.6.22-14-generic kernel,
i've read that it won't get fixed for this kernel, so i wonder what
problems would arise in my system if i don“t upgrade to hardy kernel??
would my drive get toasted??.

Also i've found this patch that seems to solve the issue without the
need of blacklist each model reported..
