Not sure if I have this same bug or not, but this bug report did help me. I'm using an ExpressCard eSATA adapter with a Dell XPS M1710 laptop running Lucid 64-bit, but it wasn't detecting it when I plugged it in--no activity in dmesg at all. modprobe'ing acpiphp as mentioned here fixed the problem. But I didn't have to do anything with pciehp_force ...

Even if the pciehp_force issue is resolved, I think Ubuntu also ought to load acpiphp by default so that users don't have to muck with their system to get ExpressCard hotplugging support.
