Could this 2.6.11.8 -stable patch fix it?
Subject: [04/07] partitions/msdos.c fix

Joe, can you test 2.6.11.8, please?

It seems to me that this exactly the other way around. The patch is probably already in -mm and is doing what it is supposed to do: don't report partitions whose system ID == 0.


Can you try to give the empty partition a type different than zero? You don't need to make a file system on it or anything, just change the type.

Or check if the patch Randy is pointing to is already in your tree and revert it.

I think this is a good argument not to include this patch on the -stable release...
