Yup you've got the same problem as me - the manufacturer ID has changed
from 0x3c to 0x3d; apparently this has been fixed in later versions. You
need somebody to send you a kernel which is slightly doctored to suit. A
kindly soul sent me one but I still can't get the install program to go -
now it stiffs the machine totally (no Alt/f keys, no ctrl/alt/del) at the
'partition disk' stage. I've not yet had chance to investigate that one.
With the correct id you'll get a line during bootup something along the
lines of (can't remember exact wording)
icside: ARCIN v6 detected in slot 1
hope this helps
