Apologies if this is something that's already been discussed (if so I missed it), and also for saying something that you've almost definitely covered but...... Check to see if there's any autoloading of modules, or anything, going on as a result of the mount/fdisk? Also (instead of the mount) does a 'dd' work? E.g. dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1? That's going to be faster & probably less intrusive.
