IDE HD seek error

Yesterday i upgraded an old server (hand upgraded ever since 2.0.33 ->
2.2.16 i believe) to a new dist (rh6.2).
I installed a 2.2.16 suse kernel (no need to handpatch LVM + reiser :)).

This server has 4 IDE drives and 2 scsii drives, but only one drive is
giving me grief.
To note is that it has always worked great when NOT using LVM (with the old
dist/install).
I repartioned it for lvm specifically and added all drives to one volume and
formatted it with "mke2fs -c -b 4096 -m 0 <dev>".

So now i'm wondering if i should just decrease the partition size on hdb or
if it's a hardware error, or if i should patch my kernel with some jolly
patch.

*The hdb info:

Sep 10 11:52:43 genbaby kernel: hdb: QUANTUM FIREBALL SE8.4A, ATA DISK drive
Sep 10 11:52:43 genbaby kernel: hdb: QUANTUM FIREBALL SE8.4A, 8063MB w/80kB
Cache, CHS=1027/255/63, UDMA(33)
Sep 10 11:52:43 genbaby kernel: hdb: hdb1

*The stuff i get in my logs:
