Ubuntu 8.04 error on 2nd disk on an old IDE machine - revalidation failde

We've recentrly upgraded our server from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04. Everything fine except for a problem during boot as the new kernel does not recognize second disk on the primary ide channel. Currently i've built the kernel 2.6.25 using congiguration from ubuntu 7.10 and everything works fine again!

Note that our server uses a duplidisk ide raid module that worked fine since Ubuntu 6.10

Here it's dmesg error during boot:
