Can you try adding

	sim700=noneg:0xff,nodisc:0xff

to your boot comamnd line and let me know what happens.

If that fails after very little disk activity, you could try

	sim700=noneg:0xff,nodisc:0xff,debug:0x2ff

and send me the (large) debug output.

Looks like oyur disk is disconnecting after an odd number of sectors,
which might be unusual.
