I'll see if I can find a contact for this. I need a couple more details
so they can reproduce this. Jonas, did you ever test the Buffalo drive with
Mark Lord's fix to set the sector count to "1"? Which version of hdparm
were you using? Is that version just in Lucid, or is it in Karmic too?
Yes, I did try it with Mark's latest version (9.29b) which uses a sector
count of "1" (version 9.29) and, in addition, uses ATA_12 (instead of
ATA_16) for IDENTIFY (9.29b). The issue exists in Karmic and Lucid.
It seems the report I sent back to Mark, once I tested 9.29b, didn't go
to all of you but just Mark. Here it is:
--------------------------------------------------------
The good news: It doesn't crash the chip anymore. The drive is still
mounted fine after executing hdparm.
The bad news: From the hdparm output it seems like the chip still
doesn't play nice.

I didn't get a reply from Mark on this yet. Alan, does this output mean
something to you?
