Persists in v53.
I guess I don't understand what you mean by partition map

I have an 8GB sdcard
partition 1 is fat32 primary 7.5GB
partition 2 is ext2 primary 512MB

This last time I reformatted the card several times to see if it would work, wiped cache, dalvik, boot, system, sd-ext (CWM recovery recognizes it) and installed 0722 build (kernel v53) and it didn't recognize.

adb shows ext2 is supported, mount command shows it isn't mounted.

I'm not sure how I'd capture a log of the boot process
nevermind... adb logcat > logcat.txt
tune2fs -O ^huge_file /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
tune2fs -O ^huge_file /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
tune2fs 1.41.10 (10-Feb-2009)
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
e2fsck 1.41.10 (10-Feb-2009)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2: clean, 11/32768 files, 4206/131072 blocks
attached log file

also, it looks like it mounts after I issue command
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext

from adb but doesn't persist upon reboot

my logcat is in an attachment in that thread on xda

The partition is not disappearing, but it looks like for some reason it's trying to mount the partition too early. Which script are you using again?

Also: adb logcat -d will be useful as it just dumps the log and exits instead of waiting for you to kill it.

I use simple2ext http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917377

his freespace app doesn't recognize the sd-ext partition either until I mount the drive in adb. I don't think the issue is necessarily because of what I'm doing.

yeah. I really didn't know how much of the log was necessary. all important stuff was the first 20 lines or so...

Well, I enjoyed the simple2ext implementation of data2ext since it was a gui android market download. Went with Data2ext Cyanogenmod by GrammarFreak for now since it works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902395
