You've got an odd sized disk. If you have that, old IDE, and you also have
anything which tries to read the last sector (eg GPT partitioning) it'll
break as it tries to read 1K block sizes.

Vendors normally clip the drive to an even size which seems to be the
case on your box with the HPA left alone.

It *should* all "just work" with the libata drivers but needs more
testing of odd sizes to be 100% sure
