Heinz,

	I have testing with both libata.ignore_hpa=0 (default) and libata.ignore_hpa=1
(ignore limits, using full disk), but there is no change. I still get grub Error
24: (this is also with a newer 2.6.36-3 kernel). So I'm stumped again. If you
have any other ideas, please let me know. I'm happy to test on this end.

	I have gone ahead and made the metadata available in case it will help. I have
also included the fdisk info as well:

Thank you for your help.
