That makes two of us.  I have the same problem with compact flash
devices.  If I don't get the geometry exactly right (I did, a couple
of times, bu no more) the devices are positively useless.

And I cannot figure out why a while back I could find the right
geometry it and now I have no idea how.  Just like you.

And, ironically, that may be your problem, too.
