You know what?  I have been trying to put together a Gentoo 1.2 machine
and I was going through my stack of variously ancient drives.  I was
seeing messages similar to this and getting a lockup at the partition
check.  I went onto the Gentoo site forums and found that I was not
alone, but no answers were forthcoming.  

I finally found a drive (Fujitsu 1.7GB) that had no problems but I found
it hard to believe that so many of them were actually messed up. 
Tomsrtbt was able to handle them.  I dunno how much of this is a 2.4
kernel issue or one of mixing newer IDE controllers (this is a Socket 7
mobo) with older (down to 60MB) drives or just what.
