This is with linux-image-2.6.19-7-generic 2.6.19-7.10 from Ubuntu edgy.
I get similar results with a home-brew 2.6.18-rc4.

Any mass storage quirk needed that might be missing?

That all seems normal, other than the unknown partition table, but the device might be all one unpartitioned disk.. at what point is it failing?
