I guess you are pretty positive there aren't any bad blocks on those
drives.  Because I set up my drives the same as you...and I have
installed RH6.2, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, and 9.0 multiple times on multiple
hardware platforms with a multitude of drives and never once seen a bad
block notice that wasn't confirmed by other OS's (Windows, or OpenBSD)
