Except the eror is reading the partition table itself.  This cannot be a
"geometry" problem, except possibly one involving the sector size, since
the partition table is in sector 0 and contains the geometry.  This is
a very strange error, since the kernel does the same read as fdisk to
read the partition table, and fdisk seems to work.
