The drive works fine for me on Linux 2.4.10-4GB, if it does not work for you
there are only a few possible reasons left over:
- A Linux kernel bug
- Bad IDE cables
- disabled DMA (unlilekely with 36 Byte transfer size)
- Another bad program that we did not yet find.
Note that you told me that you made a test in single user mode which
failed because another program was running that would not run
in single user mode if the machine was configured correctly....
- a broken drive.
Note that _exactly_ the same command does _not_ fail on my Linux system.
