Did you check the logs on the "working" system to see if it has similar errors? 
 If not, it would seem you have HW problems.

What kind of drive is it?  Can you swap cables, etc from the working system to 
the failing system?


I did not understand the implication that it was defective hardware. Actually just began considering the problem again this afternoon. The board and drive are:

I know I had that drive in another computer, presumably it worked with Fedora, although I am not certain. It just "looked" clean and had a recent date stamp. I will try a different drive and cable.
