Use the old probe code, which I've included below. Works for me :-)

        Warren

int mcd_probe(struct isa_device *dev)
{
        int port = dev->id_iobase;      
        int unit = dev->id_unit;
        int st;

        mcd_data[unit].flags = MCDPROBING;

#ifdef NOTDEF
        /* get irq/drq configuration word */
        mcd_data[unit].config = irqs[dev->id_irq]; /* | drqs[dev->id_drq];*/
#else
        mcd_data[unit].config = 0;
#endif

        /* send a reset */
        outb(port+mcd_reset, MCD_CMDRESET);
        mcd_delay(300000);

        /* get status */
        st = mcd_getstat(unit,1);
        mcd_data[unit].flags = 0;

        return (st<0) ? 0 : 4;
}
