Subject: 2.a.30-rc7: fat filesystem misdetected as amiga

Hi!
I have a disk on key with 2 partitions:
free hidden partition and after this a fat16
partition.

An attempt to mount it under linux 2.6.30-rc7 results in these messages:

usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7

parted seems to display both partitions just fine,
and that other OS does not seem to have any trouble
accessing the disk.

The message 'unable to read RDB block' seems to come from
fs/partitions/amiga.c which looks pretty weird.

Any idea what info would be helpful in debugging this?
Just to clarify, this is not a regression - older linux versions
as far back as 2.6.24 seem to behave the same way.
