Ahh, this looks a lot more like the problem is something in the new BSD
partition finding code than the TSC I first suspected.

Could you try just reversing the BSD parition diffs to see, and perhaps
jot down at least the basics of the oops (even just eip: then doing a

gdb vmlinux
(gdb) x/10i <saved-eip>

will give some useful information).
