    In a root console, I ran hdparm with no flags, and got this:

    treehouse:/home/cam# hdparm /dev/hda

    /dev/hda:
     HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
     HDIO_GET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument
     HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Invalid argument
     HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Invalid argument
     HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Invalid argument
     readonly = 0 (off)
     readahead = 8 (on)
     geometry = 19161/16/255, sectors = 78176880, start = 0

    Why the "Invalid argument" responses? I can't find anything in the
    man page about this, and searching Google provides a number of hits,
    but they (at least the ones I have found) do not seem to address this.

    I'm running a patched 2.4.20 kernel if that's any help. Is there
    something I've missed in the kernel that is causing this?

    TIA
