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. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
