Ahh, I see now. You seem to have two conflicting partition tables on the drive. The MBR/DOS one, and an Acorn partition table. The newer kernels are recognizing and using the Acorn one. You will need to get rid of that. From what I can tell from a quick glance at the kernel sources, its primary information is stored in sector 6. Zeroing that out with dd should get rid of it.
