Hi,
I have a Linux-based TV which happens to use ext2 for its external
disks. Unfortunately, they format the thing with 16k blocks, which
is not mountable by poor dumb Linux.
Is there a way to get files off that disk?
(Build a User Mode Linux kernel with 16k page size?)

It is, if you have a PowerPC with a 16k page size (which is what your
Linux TV probably uses).

Why not just use debugfs to get files off of it?

Which I don't.

Probably because something besides "having a large block size" is going on.
debugfs: data:/daten/src/git/xtreemfs$ sudo debugfs /dev/data/loewe
debugfs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
/dev/data/loewe: The ext2 superblock is corrupt while opening filesystem
