After diagnosing the problem with the help of Alan Stern and Matthew Dharm,= the conclusion was that the sector size translation must be triggered by some interaction between the drive and the BIOS. The test I performed to determ= ine this was: - unplug the drive, - turn on the computer, - plug the drive in once GRUB has started, and - boot the kernel, after which the drive worked fine. So this does not seem to be anything th= at can be fixed in the kernel. Perhaps if I had an EFI compatible mainboard, I wouldn't be seeing this problem, but I don't, so I can't even try it out :-= / . --=20 Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup --Sig_/95B4BqQwhpypoZwtfsxmlko Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: Digitale Signatur von OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVHEFaAAoJEL/Q5oYsiHj0tWsP+QEzsu6R70BT5HlF3zkuOy6u F1Dxo31DmoxSZXh2D4FHcymuZw5d/9MPSaiTfkieqWvpjU/HSS0cK8YosnmGT7Ub qCsuVwK3ziA9N3QunVocRcJ1xY219zttnScN+D8m+WlXJezg9ObAk7TplIqx2E/l MdHIVe/9nlv0FFpXfCRKRgbhUtKYEG1ax04FqbftQWBVZcMtpYgq6J1atjN19iXL N8EbmEMgwHKiPBT/V8wgbWCSBaidigHTsTj6oP/j2t4tONX5w+S2JSakncRgUTex nKELBOiL8wR7DOVX/fGsga761eMeUnCXX7l5jgm/WBu5eRrNJvctf7Ere4khCSZ6 L7VtR1JGjABKE+2pg5sfVzQMiXxSe7kLaFr+0n3NTjt/CKzmG+3KTCaN/GEhmKK5 eD/+V4uxkn2bFlQrMJ6qeHXB9UbkuaOibl/PCUOSefvdyROxjW/CJVnoAUm/kDrN lKJnbASH4UtpdZAnwWL6RctCJI59YJi9QUH70PotaSwAnCvfdRvAjSIgD1iLjoaa wt7OFJX1VK2G9vC1KC1dAV/5pbW7Nze40gFbTB6P+/mF+CoYqDjyil3R2B5buWPW r9QcAO7py5CFiEHJVx5BWXz6bbtY68JgAonW7kAULxeNEBOFUydcPxWUXsbKXQz1 RCv0hnD+daigG54BGP8h =Bao2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/95B4BqQwhpypoZwtfsxmlko--
