My first guess would be that something happened to your
driver partitions. Could you send the full partition
map from your drive (as seen from Linux)? Try this:
/sbin/mac-fdisk -l <drive>
While substituting <drive> for the proper device, most
likely /dev/hda or /dev/sda.
If that doesn't work, try this instead:
/sbin/parted -s <drive> print
This should show at least some Apple_Driver* partitions
of some sort.
