Comment 37 for bug 359323

I've added to the bug 370159 this workaround for the hot plug function of SD Card reader and firewire:
adding to /boot/grub/menu.lst the string
"pciehp.pciehp_force=1"
(and eventually also "pciehp.pciehp_poll_mode=1", but for me the first option was enough). I added it directly at the end of the kernel 2.6.28, in the line starting with "kernel":

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-8-generic root=UUID=978d9a41-90b5-43ba-a434-4d6ac3e44bea ro quiet splash pciehp.pciehp_force=1

In the blog I read it was written to add this string after the commented line # defoptions=quiet splash but I didn't because I'm usually running the kernel 2.6.27 (that should manage pciehp as a module)
