Oh, you have an ancient BIOS.

18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
     This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block
     address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally
     happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for
     (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general).

Please disregard my earlier request for information. Could you attach
the output of 'sudo dmidecode' so that we can perhaps start work on
identifying BIOSes with this problem?
