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.
