On 2.2.14 the new Maxtor 40 GB works perfectly well.
Moving fragments of other kernels to 2.2.14 sounds like a rather stupid action.
Take a vanilla 2.2.14, no patches at all, boot it without any boot parameters
and it works [on my machine].
If you cannot get it to work, give kernel boot messages (dmesg | grep hd)
and output of hdparm -i.
