I get the same error with a Seagate disk. Someone in a german newsgroup discovered the location in ide-disk.c, where the sector is added. Please take a look at: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user.german/browse_thread/thread/ab8980cb5ea0a9fb/7f475d3ce8f34211?tvc=2&q=linux+hpa+seagate+0x10

The hpa doesn't really exist. On some disks you have to add one sector, on Seagates probably not. (I don't know what the correct behaviour is, concerning to ATA)
