Unless you have created 2.4 and above filesystem specific things (e.g.
reiserfs 3.6, etc), downgrading to 2.2 shouldn't be that difficult,
should it ?

Looks like a drive hardware problem. You could try to run some drive

On the other hand it could be one of the ide-kernel bugs as well, I
would upgrade to 2.4.21 in any case.
