Your kernel is having trouble "contacting" hdd with the question:
"Hi, what's your name?". This could imply that there are other
problems for example with: "Hi, what's your capacity?"
Some drives simply don't work with certain other drives. So, can you
try if the 120G drive works when it isn't slave to the IBM drive?
Speaking of which... You have a 60G IBM drive. Those sometimes
suddenly break down. You do have good backups or "no important stuff
on that drive" don't you?
(Some people say: "Oh, but those break down in the first 3-6 months,
mine's been working for over a year now, so I'm safe." Yeah! Right!
Anything but my data.)
