Thank you for the reminder and my apologies for the long delay.
I tested the problem with the latest downloadable Gutsy kernel (2.6.22-14-386) and the same thing happens, the read hangs but "echo 64 > /sys/block/sda/queue/max_sectors_kb" solves the problem.
Actually if you read the file max_sectors_kb right after you plug in the device it says 120.
