Alpha no longer recognises certain partition tables (v2.6.38)

v2.6.38 boot reports it can't recognise the partition table on the system disk on my Alpha and panics when it can't find the root device.

It worked at v2.6.38-rc7.

While I haven't done a bisect to fully verify I nevertheless suggest the following patch as the likely cause:

1eafbfe Fix corrupted OSF partition table parsing

Cheers
Michael.
