| Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
| Vendor: Maxtor 4 Model: G160J8 Rev: GAK8
| Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Hi,
There was a thread on this 2-3 months back.
IDE in 2.4 doesn't have a 48-bit block address interface IIRC,
although Andre has some patches for this.
This is necessary to go above 137 GB.
