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

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?
..
What, *exactly*, do you mean there.
Yes, hdparm constructs its own taskfiles for the --read-sector subcommand.
Are you hitting these errors with the latest hdparm (9.12)?
