Where is this kernel available? I'd like to give it a try. I also suspect
that the drive itself may be bad, because I shortly after this I tried to
low level format it, and HDToolBox started reporting errors on the low
level format. I've returned that particular drive, and I'm just now doing a
low level format on the new one.

If I can get it to happen with the new drive, I'll be sure to get the sstat0
value.
Thanks for your help and hard work.
BTW, are you aware of the fact that the current X11R5 doesn't draw correctly
with the AGA kernel (is there some better name to use?)? It runs, but
everything is drawn incorrectly (bitmaps are messed up, etc.)
