Have you tried reducing the max_sectors value to 128 or lower, as discussed in the archives?
it seems this is an oversight of mine: I had read about earlier proposals to change this, which turned up nothing. But now that I googled again, I'm sorry for not trying this first. After making the change to scsiglue.c, setting max_sectors 128, I find the drive to be fully functional.
Thanks for saving my day.
Anyway would you be interested in any details of the setup I used (IBM Thinkpad A31, NEC Cardbus USB 2.0 adapter, Mapower H21C1G enclsure, kernel 2.4.23 with ck1 patch) like lspci, lsusb output or anything else?
