I downloaded 2 DFT's, Hitachi & Seagate to CD-ROM, also 1 to floppy disk and
hooked up a working floppy drive to the box temporarily with the case open.  It
was the floppy version which booted freedos, or Caldera DrDOS which I remember
running the tests off, on this box.

The reason I did not initially use badblocks, was because I didn't have a
"trusted" Linux kernel, and wanted to see if it was HW issue, and not have SW
faults complicating the drive test.

The DFT ran fine on the Promise Controller, it picked up only 1 badblock and I
verfied on a different box.  To verify I booted the Seagate DFT CD-ROM on a
different box with cases open, and drives hooked up to the other boxes IDE
controllers.

Now I have 2x60GB SeaGates, both passed by Seagate DFT in the MSI K7, with the
AMD 768 southbridge.  The only reason I've not fired up the box, and conducted
tests under OS 10.3, to try and reproduce the problem, is that I'm not sure if
it works for Tejun, to have me joining this bug report, or whether I should be
in my own (I thought I had likely reproduction of your issue so presumed it was
a duplicate).
