2.4.12 shouldn't have changed anything in that area.

Umhm... Could you dd the sectors 0, 10000368 and 48063456 and mail them?

Another thing to do - take the patch I've sent and add

	printk("[%d %d]\n", start, size);

in the beginning of fs/partitions/check.c::add_gd_partition()

Then we should at least see what kernel thinks about the sizes and starting
sectors of your partitions.  It looks like they are screwed of hda6 (if
they are not, we can safely forget about partition-related reasons in your
case - then you really getting a block number out of range and we should look
in fs code; however, considering other bug reports I'd like to check the
partition-related problems first).
