    I just installed Zenwalk 6.2, it comes with kernel 2.6.30.5. For the life of me I can't get the right hand card reader to work properly anymore. When I say properly I mean 'being able to hotplug' it. I find it quite annoying if I want to use it I have to reboot the AOA with a card in the slot. While I've read lately you don't have to use the pciehp module any more, how do I get it to hotplug?

    Haven't tried this with Zenwalk, but it works with Ubuntu (Jaunty, Karmic, and Lucid dev) when using grub-0.97.
    On the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf (aka /boot/grub/menu.lst) add the following:
    Code:
    pciehp.pciehp_force=1
