It looks like both LIBATA and the old IDE drivers have an off-by-one

This was fixed here:

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.
