Afraid I can't help you, but I can probably rule out the LDM.
It's failing when it tries to read a 1KB block from the very
beginning of the device: "Unable to read partition table."

LDM complains because it's the first in line for checking
partitions. If you were to disable it, then msdos would complain
(and give up), instead.
