SubjectIBM Deskstar IDE 25gb not working.
Date
Hi!
I have an IBM deskstar IDE 25gb HD.
I get nothing but trouble when trying to install it.
I should report in hdparm (CHS) 16383,16,63 but i only get
4096,16,63 ~= 2gb. When i force the 16383,16,63 setup (which
the label states) i get

Sep 8 19:25:58 ey kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:41 (hdd), sector
4129228
Sep 8 19:25:58 ey kernel: hdd: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady
SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Sep 8 19:25:58 ey kernel: hdd: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

when i format the drive with mke2fs -c /dev/hdd.
The largedisk howto states that it has to report 16383,16,63 for
the kernel to recognize that it's bigger than the 8gb BIOS limit...

When i give the geometry as bootparam it still doesn't work.

What to do?
