trouble accessing a hard drive

[Alex Snow]

Hi,
I have a machine here running I think slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.4.32.  
I would like to take a complete backup of the filesystem, so I put the 
drive into a machine running slackware 12.1 (2.6.24.5).  The partitions 
on the disk don't show up...the drive has two partitions, swap and ext3, 
and I can see them fine on the system itself running kernel 2.4.32, but 
on any 2.6.x system it appears that there is one partition acording to 
fdisk (type 55/EZ-Drive).  Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Just proving that the quickest way to solve the problem is to post a
whine to the newsgroups: within moments the solution presents itself to
me, and meanwhile my ass is hanging out on the Net... *sigh*...
