Hi Steven, I also have a 4-slot card reader, is a HP pavilion a250y
modified (customized). I tried the name{all_partitions} trick as
suggested by john fj... (sorry, hard spelling) and didn't
work. Yesterday I spent about an hr with some gurus over irc on
oftc.net and they thought it might be a bug in hotplug. May be I am
doing something wrong (sh?t, I hope so!), so, I would be happy to hear
more detail from you about what you exactly did. With a big THANKYOU
in advance, because this has been bothering me for too long.
