OK, I'll be sure to try it both ways in the custom kernel.

In terms of your second statement, the camera did have a 2G microdrive 
on board at the time, so the line:
Nov  9 14:31:18 localhost kernel: SCSI device sda: 3999745 512-byte hdwr 
sectors (2048 MB)

is at least indicating the correct size.  Of course, if the sector size 
wasn't 512 bytes, then there could be problems.. :)  To be honest, I 
have no clue what the camera sets the sector size to be.

Thanks for the quick insight.
