One possibility is the corrupt partition handling in the base 2.4.12
kernel.  AFAICT the bug has been there for a while but other changes in
2.4.1[12] made the bug more prevelant.  It resulted in missing
partitions or incorrect size data for partitions that were found.
2.4.13-pre1 is supposed to fix the bug.  The XFS CVS tree is up to
2.4.13-pre1.
