Looks okay.

And the device nodes are fine as well.

Indeed.  Check whether the kernel read back the correct partition
table; it keeps its idea of the partitioning in /proc/partitions.
Also, try to access the partition on a lower level, for example just
dd a few blocks off it with 'dd if=/dev/hda5 of=/dev/null count=42 bs=1k'.

Regards, Jens.
