This appears to have been fixed for Gutsy, and is broken again for Hardy. I have tested both.

With Gutsy, I can easily swap my CD/DVD multi-burner and my PATA 2nd HD adapter. Going further, if I configure the scripts for ACPI as described by http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_UltraBay_devices#Scripts_for_hotswapping and configure HAL as described by http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_UltraBay_devices#HAL_support, everything works a treat.

If I remove the drive with Hardy, the system locks up solid. Not just a UI freeze. Nothing responds, not even over the LAN or Bluetooth. A power cycle is reequired.

Another bit of data: with Gutsy and my ThinkPad T61p 6457-7WU, the hotswap bay shows up as 1:0:0:0; with Hardy, it shows up as 3:0:0:0.

I am marking my bug #182058 as a duplicate of this bug.
