Have you tried auto booting one of these patches from floppy?  Create a bootable floppy disk and copy the *.TOS file from the game into the AUTO folder on the floppy (any data files should be kept in their own directory on the floppy root).

For eg.

A:/AUTO/GAME.TOS
A:/DATA/GAME_DATA_FILES

Then turn off any peripherals, cold boot with the floppy in the drive and see if the program/intro still bombs.  If it works, then you can identify that it's an AUTO folder program on your HD (or accessory) causing the problem.  Or a peripheral (unlikely).

A lot of these game adaptations will NOT work if you are running Teradesk, or have any memory resident programs (including any ACCs).  The best way to run them is from a cold, clean boot.  Using HDDriver you can bypass the AUTO folder on your HD for a minimal boot using the Control key - I don't know if you can do the same in AHDI...
