Wrong device type, should be 7146, not 6146.

I don't think that such a rev 1.3 card exists.

- Make sure that the card is properly seated in the slot.
- Try a different pci slot.
- Try it in a different computer.

If the problem persists, the id has been changed for some reason.
(@all: Is it possible to re-program the id of a pci device?)

If nothing else helps, you might try to add something like this
to the saa7146_pci_tbl in saa7146_core.c:

#define PHILIPS_BOGUS PCI_VENDOR_ID_PHILIPS, 0x6146

{ PHILIPS_BOGUS, 0x13c2, 0x0000, CARD_INFO fs_1_3 },

If you are lucky, the card will work. But don't expect that this patch
will be included in the driver. ;-)
