Here's another data point. I move the USB drive to my Dell i8100 laptop, also running RH9. I plugged it in there and strangely enough the dmesg showed there was a /dev/sda2 partition, where my desktop showed /dev/sda1.
I mounted /dev/sda2 and viola, it worked fine. I was able to read all the files on the disk and fdisk showed the correct drive size.
I know someone mentioned that there were problems with VIA chipsets, which is what my desktop has:
00:0b.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB (rev 50) 00:0b.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB (rev 50) 00:0b.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 51)
Hmmm, just noticed something. When I run lsusb I get a ton of the following errors:

fdisk trashed a 120G drive of mine just because I happened to be using a journaling filesystem. There are odd things going on with Linux, new filesystems and recent kernels. Beware!
