Meanwhile I also found this bugreport (for ubuntu): https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/26119 which has quite a few "me,too"s, most of them referring to the same (as mine) Seagate 40GB model ST340823A, some others to a seagate 20GB model. And, they are better than me at collecting relevant facts ;-)
Btw., this excerpt: hdc: Host Protected Area detected. current capacity is 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) native capacity is 78165361 sectors (40020 MB) hdc: Host Protected Area disabled. hdc: 78165361 sectors (40020 MB) w/1024KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) hdc: cache flushes not supported
looked the same for me those days, but when retrying lately with a yet unpatched 2.6.18.3, it reported the current capacity as 78165359 (one less!) (but the native capacity still 78165361)
After patching away the "addr++;", the logs now say: hda: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/512KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) and I really got 78165360 sectors according to /proc/ide/hda/capacity.
PS: Will this turn out as: "drive is broken, no kernel workaround will be done, end this thread" or is a real solution in any way realistic?
