It seems no one suggested this workaround. I'm running Archlinux on a Acer Aspire 5930G like the original poster, so your mileage may vary.
I added the line: options pciehp pciehp_force=1 to the file /etc/modprobe.d/fix-the-jmicron-sucker.conf and rebooted. Now I can hotplug my SD card and have them recognized without a hassle. For reference, I'm running 2.6.31 in 64bit -- JMicron internal card reader recognizes SD only when inserted at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258446 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
