I'm still having trouble after applying the same patch to 2.6.24.3 (applying it three times in order to build Slax). But now I wonder if it's no longer the fault of drivers.
Does hdparm construct its own taskfiles for ATA and SATA in order to produce an error trying to read sector number 0x0fffffff even after I patched the kernel?
If dd works then did I adequately patch the kernel?
Meanwhile I think the kernel needs more patches than ata.h. (1) libata-core.c contains a suspicious expression 1UL << 28. (2) sata_inic162x.c contains a suspicious expression 1 << 28.
