RH Card Reader hot-plug
a combination of adding these pciehp options to /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="pciehp.pciehp_force=1 pciehp.pciehp_poll=1 elevator=noop quiet splash"
and the advice from an older version of these pages:
Create a file /etc/modprobe.d/aspireone.conf with the following content:
#################################################################### # Module options for the Acer AspireOne # # Enable USB card reader options pciehp pciehp_force=1 install sdhci for i in 2381 2382 2383 2384; do /usr/bin/setpci -d 197b:$i AE=47; done; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sdhci
Add the following line to the end of you existing /etc/modules file:
pciehp
..seems to have fixed the RH Card Reader hotplug for me on 10.04

You can also specify the fanon and fanoff temperatures as well as the polling interval of the temperature sensor with the following options to acerhdf:
- fanon (millidegrees)
- fanoff (millidegrees)
- interval (seconds)
You can check the temperature reported by the sensor with
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
