The [POWERTEC] comes from fs/partitions/acorn.c. Your drive identifies
as an Acorn-partitioned disk for some unknown reason.
I will remove support for these types of partition tables in the next
release. Nobody is using Knoppix as rescue system for Acorn harddisks
anyways, right?

I don't know of any boot options that would prevent the kernel from
detecting all supported partition types. :-(

/usr/src/linux/.config
It is a standard 2.4.20 kernel with only the XFS patch, and a small
patch for longer boot options, which is present in /usr/src for your
convenience.
