When you say a "failing IDE drive", what was the manner of the failure? Were there any other log messages relating to ext3 or IDE failures?
The disk had hardware reading problems and they were reported as IDE reading errors. These were the only mesages printed (i.e IDE+ext3).
I should comment that this bug was traced to errors in vt8233a motherboard support. This is fixed in current kernels. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 71545 ***
