That's correct. When I first encountered the oops, I did not have the 
pciehp driver loaded and removing the device from the slot whilst the 
laptop was powered on resulted in the oops.

I wasn't sure whether or not the pciehp driver should be loaded on its 
own or with the acpiphp driver also loaded. So I built them both as 
modules and planned to try both, pciehp only and acpiphp only. However, 
I've found that acpiphp will not load (regardless of whether or not 
pciehp is already loaded). What I get is:

[chris:~]$ sudo modprobe acpiphp debug=1
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'acpiphp': No such device

and at the end of the dmesg output I see:

[   68.199789] acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5
[   68.199970] acpiphp_glue: Total 0 slots

The pciehp driver loads OK. I've attached pciehp-only which shows the 
dmesg and lscpi output that you asked for.

As I said before, the only way that I can get the card detected with 
rebooting the laptop is to write 1 to /sys/bus/pci/rescan. In the hope 
that it might help (e.g. it shows details of the expresscard I'm using), 
I've also attached the output from dmesg and lspci after a rescan.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional diagnostics.

Thanks,
Chris
