Incidentally, I just noticed that the partition type as reported by fdisk is still W95FAT(LBA). The fsck error is that it cannot find the superblock. Manually giving the alternate block locations doesn't help. dmesg output is lost since the boot process doesn't complete and I am afraid of forcing it through incase it results in any FS corruption on the USB disk (which works on other kernels). The same setup works flawlessly on 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.x86_64, finds the superblocks and mounts the disk at boot time without reporting any errors. Do let me know if there are any relatively safe things I can do with 2.6.19 that'll help diagnose the problem better.
