It's worth noting that you'll need the libata passthrough patch to
make this work on a T43..
However, with this patch I'm getting the "head not parked 4c" message,
but I can hear the click from the drive.. It takes around 350-400ms
for the command to execute, but when repeated, it drops to around 5ms
for a short while (with no audible clicking), before reverting to
original behaviour after a few seconds.
The clicking and the variation in execution time lead me to think it
is parking, but not being reported correctly?

Jon,
Most likely it might be doing it but returning inmediately. If you
are in a quiet place, you should be able to notice the change.
You can test this by having 2 consoles. With one you run the command
and with the other one, try going deep into the filesystem, you should
notice that it takes awhile to find the files and folders.
If it is fast, then is not parking.
