I remember having problems with this when Andre Hedrick added LBA48 support around linux-2.4.19. The drive (Maxtor 4D040H2) advertised it supported LBA48, but the chipset (Ali 1543 rev C3, IIRC) didn't. Unfortunately I can't test it, my Ali main board died a couple of months ago so I'm just guessing :-(.
