Comment 26 for bug 271019

I can confirm that the above 'pciehp.pciehp_force=1' fix described by Marc and dnl works perfectly on my Acer Aspire One AOA 110-1698.

However, it's a bit of a give and take solution since the fix adds about 3-5 seconds of some rather intimidating-looking kernel messages at bootup (prior to the Ubuntu splash screen), regardless of whether there is an SD card inserted or not. I'm alright with it, as I much value hot-swappable drives than super-quick bootups -- but speedsters may just prefer to keep an SD card inserted in the left drive at all times. ;)

In any event, the fact that we do have a decent workaround is reason enough to celebrate. Thank you ! :)
