AS other wrote, it usually works, it works on my other laptop.

I was and using the same slot that worked (actually, I didn't remove the 
card from one day to the other) also because the lower one has a damaged 
ejector. Also I remember it was saying FIXUP on teh second slot... But 
now it appears that both slots are affected. Somehow... there is some 
kind of death!
On my old thinkpad everything was stable: only one slot worked 
consistently, the other never until I compiled a custom kernel and now 
it works fine on that one on both.
