(please never send out html only emails, it's considered very bad style
on this list)

Sounds like you need a quirk/blacklist entry for that drive, if it
doesn't support 0x00 as meaning 256 sectors. If you are using libata,
you can add a ATA_HORKAGE_MAX_SEC_128 entry to ata_device_blacklist[] in
drivers/ata/libata-core.c
I'm using IDE driver instead of HD driver.
