As soon as my RMA drive arrives, I can do more testing. What would be
beneficial? Backing down the drivers as I had planned, or is there
something better I can do to help?

By "large change," I mean a change that affected a few files, that
happened before things went south. According to the CVS log:
"Centralise mode setting. Instead of doing it in all subdrivers, do
it in ata-all.c where it belongs."
If this still failed, I was going to keep working back until I found
exactly where things started to fail.
