Phil, I know that you have tried different floppies, but this problem is almost always caused by a bad floppy. Try some from a different source. Find another Linux box and verify what is on the rescue floppy against the resc1440 file with md5sum. I use :- dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=8k | md5sum ; md5sum path/to/resc1440.bin
and I have never had trouble with a disk that passed that test.
