The problem shows up when because the SATA-PATA converter shows the second drive as present whether it is or not. This leads the driver to try to probe the drive. The probe of the non-existant fails. (Gee, what a surprise!) If you don't have a second PATA drive in hte system, you need to disable this drive to prevent the probe. If you have a second drive, you only need to enable it and it works. At least my second drive did on my old T42. I can only hope the T40 is the same. IF you can get the PATA caddy, try finding a drive to plug in and see if it works at all. I suspect that it will. Be aware that old PATA drives are getting harder to come by. Most are pretty small, though I did find a 360 GB drive on Amazon.
