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.

Actually, I think the LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 version of pdisk does have a
problem with reading block 0 on 2.4.x kernels. I remember having
that problem. Doesn't happen with the pdisk from YDL 2.0.

Couldn't find it.

Well, I feel stupid.
As Timothy verified, LinuxPPCQ4 pdisk doesn't like 2.4.x kernels, so I
upgraded to a new pdisk found at YellowdogLinux.com. That let me see my
drives at least.
But I still couldn't mount. I figured if pdisk was broken, mount might
be, so I upgraded to a newer version of mount from linuxppc.org.
*This* version gave me error messages I could read! More importantly:
mount: filesystem hfs not supported by kernel
It would seem I turned off the experimental prompts in make menuconfig,
forgot about Apple HFS File System support, and blindly assumed that Apple
Partition Map support implied Apple HFS support.
D'oh.
Thanks for everyone's patience!
