Dear Christopher, are you for real or are you a bot? I already told you in comment #26 that I am absolutely not going to mess with my BIOS. Please stop messing with this bug, and just forward it to the developers so that they try to fix this very real issue. Or, if you just don't have the manpower or the will to do so, just say it and close it WONTFIX.
This bug existed a long time ago, then got fixed, and then came back again. So, that means that this is not a hardware bug or a BIOS bug. If this has been fixed before, this can be fixed again. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036102 Title: Card reader not working on Dell Inspiron M301Z Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On my Dell Inspiron M301Z, there is a built-in SD card reader, but it doesn't work. --- ApportVersion: 2.4-0ubuntu6 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: julien 5794 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: julien 5794 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=ab3d5b62-d785-4caa-82f8-68eb4932a418 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100816.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
