Here the drive claims to be 2GB, not 20GB (or is detected as such).

And here you can see that the partition map tries to use about 20GB...
so there is a discrepancy between what the partition map says and what
the IDE driver says. I suspect old kernel just ignores the later, while
newer kernels enforce the limit which causes your problem.
Bart, I'm a bit at lost as to why the device size would be misdetected,
do you have an idea ? Might be worth getting a dump of the ID block...
Mike, can you send us a dump of the binary file /proc/ide/hdb/identify ?
Ben.

is this what you wanted? I ran cat /prob/ide/hdb/identify while booted
in the 2.6.17.14 kernel. I hope it's ok I anticipated that Ben would
want me to keep linux-ide in the loop, if I am wrong tell me and I will
no longer keep them in the CC
