Updated BIOS (to ver0.3310) did NOT correct problem. But I did learn how to update the BIOS. I would like to know more about how the updated BIOS correct the problem as I now have the most current version of the BIOS and I still have the problem.
I guess now I will have to do the grub update method to get the right media slot to be hot plugable. The left slot has always worked fine. I do not like leaving an SD card in the right slot as it sticks out too far. The left slot the SD card is almost flush with the netbook case. >From the ACER web site: How to update the BIOS Create a recovery USB drive to update the Bios on the unit. The specific steps to perform this recovery with the USB drive are: 1. Download & Extract AS1_BIOS_3310.zip 2. Rename the Bios name from 3310.fd to ZG5IA32.FD. (Note use all CAPS in the file name) 3. Copy ZG5IA32.FD and Flashit.exe to USB flash drive. 4. Start the restoration process: A. Plug the AC Adapter into the unit. B. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port. C. Press and Hold down the Fn and the Esc keys together. D. Keep these keys held down and press power. E. When the unit's power light comes on release the Fn and Esc keys. F. After the keys have been released the power light will start to blink. G. Let the unit run and after approximately 1-7 minutes, the unit should reboot. H. Video should now be restored. The above worked for me. It actually worked on the second try, so if it does not work at first try several times. use; $suddo dmidecode -s bios-version to check installed BIOS version -- kernel does not detect card reader if card is inserted in reader before boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
