2.6.22.1 only fixes one little error in netfilter in network part of kernel. 
It has nothing to do with hard drives. Load the kernel configuration from 
2.6.22 using kernel menu. If you did not save kernel configuration to a file 
in kernel menu when you were configuring 2.6.22 you can try to load it 
from /usr/src/linux-2.6.22/.config
