I have tried amd64 live CD with both ST340823A and ST320413A and they both work OK. The number of sectors reported for both disks is now OK. So the bug can be closed for 2.6.24.

Have you considered applying the patch in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/26119/comments/30 to future 2.6.22 revisions? I think it may worth the while since current ubuntu 2.6.22 kernels crash when using these drives, this kernels have to be maintained for a year and the patch is quite simple that there is little risk it would compromise kernel's stability.

Thanks for your effort.
