Sorry, I couldn't join the channel back then.
I'll be happy to try later, will look for you.
When I put the card out and in:
----(code 1)
$dmesg
[...]
[73418.876071] r852: card removed
[74172.784059] r852: detected xD writeable card in slot
[74173.088094] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0xd5
(Toshiba SmartMedia 4MiB 3,3V ROM)
----
As far as writings on it say, its FujiFilm XD H 2GB card.

With debug=1, only difference seems to be that r852 prints
---(code 2)
[80148.517617] r852 0000:03:01.4: PCI INT B disabled
[80165.105581] r852 0000:03:01.4: PCI INT B -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
---
after being modprobed. After that comes the same data as in (code 1).

Pentahedron - A polyhedron having five faces. Because there are two
pentahedral graphs, there are two convex pentahedra, namely the square
pyramid and the triangular prism. The triangular prism is the unique
convex pentahedra having unit edge lengths.
