The reason I suspect a drive problem is that I recently had a similar
failure on my Powerbook - also with and IBM drive. Since I travel a lot by
plane, the drive gets a lot of high frequency vibration - which is known to
cause problems. The characteristics of the problems reading I had are almost
exactly what you described. Unfortunately, in my case there were too many
bad sectors to map, so I replaced the drive.
