Thanks, Aaron,

That is one of the first things I tried.  I just did it again.  I must 
be crazy, because I did the same thing and expected different results.  
There is an error generated just after the nash shell starts:

usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -62.

Don't think this is the problem.  But it is an added point of data.  I 
have felt the drive.  It is hot and feels like it is spinning.  It still 
might have been a head crash, but I can hope, that it is the same 
problem I had with the previous kernel.  That kernel did not detect the 
Serial ATA drive either.  See plug email dated 11/21/2007 07:40 AM.
