[PATCH] ide-disk.c: workaround for bogus LBA48 drives
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Apparently some IDE drives (e.g. a pile of 80 GB ST380020ACE drives I have access to) advertise to support LBA48, but don't, causing kernels that support LBA48 (i.e. anything newer than 2.4.18, including 2.4.25 and 2.6.4) to fail on them. Older kernels (including 2.2.20 on the Debian woody CDs) work fine. Check for id->lba_capacity_2 being non-zero in idedisk_supports_lba48().
