It needs an adapted diskmap in the kernel to give external disk as suffix "se".
The new kernel was poste here :

Yes and no
Even without the diskmap, /proc/partitions should contain the partitions found on the disk at least with the bad prefix and indeed there are some issues later but only when the firmware will try to mount the partition (but badly we are not yet at this step)

It is probably an advanced format disk that uses physical sector size of 4096 bytes but it should be formatted with 512 logical sector size, normally the disk firmware should handle this. We have seen disk before with this problem
In those cases the sata->usb interface used could be the cause this problem. Some do not handle these advanced format disks correctly and show logical sector size of 4096. Connecting them directly to an sata port could be a check to find out if he usb-sata interface you use cause this problem
:thumbup
Indeed, this may explain the behaviour;
So azaranto should try to connect it with another USB interface.
