Which kernel are you running?

Hans Verkuil (CCed) made a lot of changes for 2.6.30; I meant to try
them out, but, in the time I had available, I never did succeed in
getting a contemporary system running on my XO.  So there is a lot of
untested code in that driver in 2.6.30; given the nature of the
changes, a detection failure seems like a likely problem.

The fact that it's seeing something at 0x84 is a little suspicious.

Hans has an XO now; I'm not sure how far he's gotten in trying things
out.
