Alright. After a few more tests, I finally have good news on the matter. I used
a boot setting suggested by someone on the other tracker, and it worked! The
hard drive and its partitions were seen, and there were no more I/O errors
happening.
The option that got it working is libata.ignore_hpa=0 . I don't know what it
does, but it seems to fix the problem. I haven't tried installing and
partitioning yet, as I'm still scared of data loss until more is known. But
this should be some helpful info, and a good workaround too :)
