Couldn't get the Daily Build downloaded (5kb/s in China), but I've got the
latest stable .32 kernel running in Karmic. Still doesn't work. HDPARM gives
me input/output errors doing anything, like setting a password. Gparted at
least sees one of the drives and its partitions, but ultimately does the
same when I tried to format.

Any suggestions?
