Ultrabay Hotswapping is not working

[Sebastian Reichel]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

After loading the kernel modules "thinkpad-acpi" and "bay" Thinkpads
should be able to hotswap the Ultrabay devices since kernel 2.6.21.
I tried this in Gutsy and got the following error (from dmesg)

If I put back the device within the 10 secs it's working... The problem seems to be, that the event, that the device was put back is not interpreted?!

[Henrik Nilsen Omma (henrik)]

Thanks for filing and providing dmesg output. Could you also attach the output from 'sudo lspci -vvnn'? See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies

[Sebastian Reichel (sre)]

Here is the requested 'lspci -vvnn' file.

I miss the bay special file too here with Gutsy x86_64 (latest update) on my T61

[Adrovane Marques Kade (adrovane)]

I have this same error on a Thinkpad T43 (2668) in Gutsy LiveCD. There is no bay special file in /proc/acpi/ibm too. However, it was there in Feisty. The files requested in KernelTeamBugPolicies are in attachment.

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

This is now supported natively by the kernel. Just remove the device.

Where can one find this fix?

Reproduced this bug with Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, all updates, on
a) a Thinkpad T42p 2373-KYG updated online from Feisty (no errors) and
b) a Thinkpad T42p 2373-7XU fresh install from CD on a zeroed HDD
