Re: 2.6.25: usb-storage unknown partition table issue

[Abel Bernabeu]

Looks like you did not enable the partition type "PC BIOS".

Type "make menuconfig" and make sure you enabled it on:

Partition types / Advanced partition / pc bios (ms dos partition tables)

Discard any SCSI issue, indeed I am almost sure you can do a "cp
/dev/sda /dev/null" with no problem (showing that your SCSI driver is
working properly).

Yours, Abel.
