Any ideas? Do you have any other ExpressCards you could try, just to make sure the E1505 slot actually works? Would it be possible for you to boot a current kernel (2.6.34-rc1) on both boxes with the card in place and collect the dmesg logs and "lspci -vv" output? New kernels have a lot more output to make debugging easier.
