Thanks, actually, I see this:

Could you try with a vanilla 2.6.22 kernel?  The reason for all of this
is that 2.6.22 predates Alan's conversion of this driver (which was my
95% candidate for the source of the bug).  I want you to try the vanilla
kernel just in case the opensuse one contains a backport.

Thanks,

James
