Well this is nice surprise - today's daily (liveCD session) detects the card (inserted after booting with an empty slot) without issues and without any extra kernel parameters. There seem to be no logs on card insert/eject (only the first time, when the card's driver is loaded), but the relevant interfaces appear and work - I connected an HDD and browsed the contents in the file manager, benchmarked with hdparm and looked at SMART status and values with smartctl - no problems encountered.

Attaching dmesg from this working system for reference. I'll now try booting with the card in the slot, then eject it to see if the scsi_host device is properly removed from the system. ** Attachment added: "working kernel's dmesg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1011669/+attachment/3939301/+files/dmesg.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011669 Title: PCIe ExpressCards are not automatically detected upon insertion on FSC Esprimo Mobile U9200 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1011669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
