You can compile the 64-bit fs to be compatible on-disk with the 32-bit
fs by adding -DOLD to CFLAGS in the mkfile for that system.  It might
be worth trying the newer code.  The old IDE code was a little weak on
error checks.

Bad block size sounds like a good guess, but aren't you booting the
same fs kernel that you used to run on this machine?  The block size
is compiled in, so I'm not sure how it could have changed.

I'm a little puzzled by the references in the devinit lines to D5 and
D14; those don't look like valid file server device strings, which is
worrisome.  It looks like `D' is a `can't happen' condition, in Zfmt()
at /sys/src/fs/port/sub.c:602.
