It's not likely I'll be able to try it. But I'm absolutely sure
that drive aborted the read commands with the sector count of 0 (i.e.
256 actually). The exact model was IBM DHEA-34331.
Several people reported this problem when we tried 256 years ago in
drivers/ide. You might want to do 256 for SATA Jeff but please don't do
256 for PATA. Reading specs is too hard for some people ;)
Some drives abort the xfer, some just choked.
Where in drivers/ide is it limited to 255?
Hm, indeed, it's 256 there...
But the changelog in ide-probe.c suggests the were limited to 255 once
upon a time. Also, hd.c still has this limit, and changelog talling why it was
so...
WBR, Sergei
