Do you mean "ide.2.2.15-14.20000325.patch"?

Did you enable "CONFIG_WDC_ALI15X3" without reading the "FOOLS Warning"?

ALI M15x3 WDC support (DANGEROUS)
CONFIG_WDC_ALI15X3
  This allows for UltraDMA support for WDC drives that ignore CRC checking.
  You are a fool for enabling this option, but there have been requests.
  DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOUR DRIVE HAS FS CORUPTION, IF YOU ENABLE THIS!
  No one will listen, just laugh for ignoring this SERIOUS WARNING.

  Using this option can allow WDC drives to run at ATA-4/5 transfer rates with
  only an ATA-2 support structure.

  SAY NO!

People who claim they have IBM drives that are Stamped WDC are potentially
safe, otherwise............
