OK.
Interestingly enough, the drive wasn't being used at all during the timeframe
when the messages show up - at least, not explictly. Perhaps some random process
was polling the drive....
Alan, I tried 2.4.20rc4-ac1 but while the patch took, it wouldn't compile. I'll
try again later and fwd where the error was. (I don't have access to that machine
at the moment)

Ah, OK. Perhaps hdparm shouldn't try them then. :)
Thanks.
