Just my 2 cents: I think this issue was fixed with
0a74509a696671580c8a7dc768d26f414748bab5.  Sometimes, devices are so
small you can't even create a new partition table on them, and we used
to not detect this failure and instead return #f for the disk.  That or
ped_disk_new fails for some reason but I wouldn't know why without more
info.

Best,
