In a last ditch effort to fix the problem described here I have decided to change my IDE configuration to:
Primary IDE Controller
HDD 40GB
DVD-RW
Secondary IDE Controller
HDD 160GB
CDROM
The only problem with that is when I boot to the HDD 160GB drive newly located on the second IDE Controller ReiserFS complains that this drive isn't as it should be (namely it's not HDB1) and puts me in recovery mode. I've tried editing the FSTAB with the option "notail" to the partition however that didn't seem to do the trick. Any ideas are, as always, greatly appreciated.

Primary IDE Controller
HDD 40GB = /dev/hda
DVD-RW = /dev/hdb
Secondary IDE Controller
HDD 160GB = /dev/hdc
CDROM = /dev/hdd
Therfore:
Second IDE controller, device 0, partition 1 CANNOT be /dev/hdb1
It MUST be /dev/hdc1
The only way around this is by reordering devices in the BIOS (but even then the kernel may see past BIOS preferences when querying the chipset directly) or by hacking the kernel (which I presume you did not do)
Could you please post your /etc/fstab file in entirety here?
