By amazing coincidence, I got an EasyDisk yesterday, and just a few
hours later, someone wrote a mail detailing just how it didn't work.
(And it didn't work for me, either -- I got exactly the same error
messages.)
Here's the output from Linux 2.4.17-pre:

Matthew Dharm mentioned something about "unusual devices", so I went
looking into the source code. Now, I have no idea how any of it
works, but I went hacking away anyway. I guessed a bit, and put this
into the file:

And now I can actually see the device:
frances:~# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

But it doesn't actually work, though. :-) If I do an fdisk to list
the partitions, I get the following:

Partition table entries are not in disk order
So -- what should I have put into unusual_devs.h instead of what I did?
