Hello again,
Had some time to play with libata and this ST340823A drive. I had some

First, vanilla 2.6.22.1 which works as HPA is not disabled by default:

2.6.18 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2), latter without EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL since

Umh, it's getting late but some makefile magic maybe missing, or I
should do a clean build?

Hello,
(More details at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8816 )
My home server disk doesn't work with latest kernels since its size is
