[ale] ide reset

I'm getting quite a few of these messages:

It seems my hard drive is sleeping.  I don't have the hdparm set for
this, but every time it 'wakes up' I get this error.  My hdparm settings
when I boot are:
hdparm -d1 -u1 -m8 -c3 -A1 /dev/hda

Is there any way i can avoid this from happening?

My suspicion is I compiled something in the kernel... but I don't know
where it is... unless something's just plain wrong.  I don't suspect a
bad hard drive.  This one's less than a year old.

Can anyone glean information about this 'problem' from the following
stuff?
