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

Well if the SCSI driver is hosed, then shouldn't I *not* be able to do
anything else then?  My setup is as follows:

SCSI0 - Adaptec 2940 UW Card   /dev/sda
SCSI1 - Mesh Internal SCSI     /dev/sdb

And all of the drivers have been compiled into the kernel (no modules).

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

Then that leaves it to the program I'm using to read the partition map.
I've seen you reference "mac-fdisk".  Is this the same as pdisk?  Or
is an entirely different beast?

its a debian modified version of pdisk thats more reliable.  get the
one from debian woody.

Perhaps it is pdisk that doesn't like the new kernel.

i don't really see how.. its not doing much more then reading the
first 32k of of the disk to parse the partition table.
