UPDATE: Try using this revision first, it has fixed the problem for many others!
682
The latest one as of this writing is 684, though, so try that instead if you want.
A huge thanks to the GX team for solving this! Thanks for your patience and calmness in this.
If more than one or two people report the problem still not being fixed with 682, I will continue updating this thread in some way, but I suppose I'd have to start over with stats from only those few people for whom it doesn't work. Seems like another error then.
-------------------------
Okay, as this has clogged up 10+ pages in the USB Loader GX thread, I'm taking the initiative Logan suggested and making a thread to gather the data here.
Everyone who have the multiple partition problem with revisions past 647, as documented in issues 764 and 773 on the Google Code Issue section, post your specs according to the following formula. With that data, we could make an excel sheet or something
Below are the questions to answer, and in paranthesis an example answer
Basic questions:
---------------------
Relevant data gathered so far (please give feedback on this):
Partitions:
8 people using 2 partitions.
3 people using 3 partition.
Drives used:
2x Western Digital Elements 1 TB
2x Western Digital Passport Essentials 320 GB (I think Royusmc uses this as well?)
Western Digital 250 GB
Iomega prestige 320 GB
Seagate Freeagent GO 320 GB
Seagate Freeagent GO 160 GB
Imation Apollo 160GB
USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge, with a Hitachi HTS543232L9A300 300 GB SATA hard drive inside
Last loader to work:
It seems unclear where the loader broke
Many people report 648, but a few people are reporting that 664 works, another that 672 works.
A third (riddle 43) reports that 672 is the revision where it first went wrong(!)
Royusmc says 668 and above is where it stopped working.
m0nde says 671. bula says 673.
cIOS revisions:
4 out of 11 report having tried a previous cIOS revision with the same results.
No one has reported the problem being solved by changing to an earlier cIOS, so far.
System menu versions used:
4.0E - 2
4.1E - 3
3.2U - 1
4.0U - 1
4.1U - 4
11 Total
From this we gather that there are:
5 PAL users
6 NTSC-U users
Also, that the following System Menu Firmware versions are used:
3.2 - 1
4.0 - 3
4.1 - 7
Preloader:
8 out of 10 use Preloader.
SD/SDHC:
6 SD users
3 SDHC users
1 person has reported using both
SD/USB:
5 people having run from SD only
0 people having run from USB only
5 people having tried both
One person reported one-time success when switching from USB to SD

Below are the questions to answer, and in paranthesis an example answer
Basic questions:
- Number of partitions: (2 or 3, probably)
- What hard drive are you using? (e.g. WD Elements 1 TB, Seagate Freeagent GO 320 GB)
- The first GX Revision where the problem occurs: (e.g. rev648, rev 672)
- cIOS Rev: (e.g. 12, 13a, 13b, 14)
- System Menu Version: (e.g. 4.0E)
- Region: (PAL/NTSC-U/NTSC-J)
- Preloader Installed? (Y/N)
- SD or SDHC Card? (SD/SDHC)
- Used GX on SD, USB or both? (SD/USB/Tried both)
- Have you tried turning off Ocarina?
- Have you tried resetting the config files?
- Have you tried making all your partitions primary?
- Have you tried using a previous cIOS rev?
- Do newer revisions work for you if you force cIOS selection by having the USB disconnected when starting GX, then plugging the cord in and selecting cIOS?
