the dd trick shows you can read the device without problems, are you
sure the filesystem is not corrupt? or that the disk is not failing?

But the problem isn't limited to /dev/sdb, since /dev/sda also has
problems.  (I can't do any of the tricks, i.e., dd or pdisk -l /dev/sda
with it either.  Again, this is all under 2.4.10-pre12, 2.2.18 works
fine.)

well sounds to me like your scsi driver is hosed then.

badblocks -sv /dev/sdb

Nothing bad happened, and no error messages came out (I checked
the entire /dev/sdb drive), so I'm assuming my drive is ok.

well if badblocks has no problem reading the entire device why should
anything else.  this clearly has nothing to do with partition table
support.
