... it's a 2048 bytes/sector device, and Linux doesn't like that at all.
Early in the
initialisation of the driver, it tries to send a 1 KByte request to the
device, and there's
a check in the driver that essentially checks that the request size is a
multiple of
the block size. And it's not - it's a fraction of it.
What can I do?
Maybe tell us what kernel version you are talking about?
I think 2048 bytes/sector devices work reasonably well with recent
kernels.
Once things go well at boot time, and you come to partitioning,
don't forget the -b 2048 flag to fdisk.
