this is a long shot but did this disk used to have a x86 partition table on it? i am not certain that mac-fdisk zeros out the first block, and the way mac partition tables are structured its actually possible to have both a x86 partition table and a mac partition table at the same time, both with completely different data. if there is a x86 partition table the kernel will probably see it first.
Actually I may be having this problem with a disk I'm monkeying around with right now. Is there a way to wipe the x86 partition from Linux or do I need to initialize it in MacOS first?
