After diagnosing the problem with the help of Alan Stern and Matthew Dharm, the |
| 16 |
conclusion was that the sector size translation must be triggered by some |
| 17 |
interaction between the drive and the BIOS. The test I performed to determine |
| 18 |
this was: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
- unplug the drive, |
| 21 |
- turn on the computer, |
| 22 |
- plug the drive in once GRUB has started, and |
| 23 |
- boot the kernel, |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
after which the drive worked fine. So this does not seem to be anything that |
| 26 |
can be fixed in the kernel. Perhaps if I had an EFI compatible mainboard, I |
| 27 |
wouldn't be seeing this problem, but I don't, so I can't even try it out :-/ . |
