You have a SCSI disk, read its partitions, look whether
special disk manager or geometry translations are required
and crash.
Why? Of course Alan should have removed this ide_mess :-),
but I suppose Al is the culprit that broke ide_xlate_1024
converting it to bdev.
The code
int ide_xlate_1024 (struct block_device *bdev, int xparm, int ptheads, const char *msg)
{
ide_drive_t *drive = bdev->bd_disk->private_data;
is just broken - there is no guarantee that bdev is an IDE disk,
and casting some private pointer to ide_drive_t and then
accessing fields must be unhealthy.
Try replacing the body of ide_xlate_1024 by just
return 0;
