Please don't call every bug out there IDE. Thanks. Becouse this one is acutally most likely due to the ioctl() handling changes between 27 and 28...

Maybe indeed IDE or maybe as well the READA code or simple related to the above error. I will recheck after I get 2.5.28 up and running.

Your hdparm uses an ioctl that doesnt exist (anymore). Change to HDIO_GETGEO.

There I cannot help.
