As a cludgy workaround ... some drives have a switch which changes the large hard drive to be seen as only 32Gb partitions or something similar. It was similar to a problem we had on 286's with the 32Mb barrier. Is there a patch or hardware switch which either fakes DMA or allows your drive to be logically split into smaller (and therefore readable) chunks? There were workarounds in the 286 days and if memory serves me correctly the early debian releases had some sort of code to deal with these problems.
