Howdy, I used to have ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.18-20071203 with 2.6.22.15, and had a /proc/acpi/ibm/bay which worked fine. After upgrading to 2.6.24 with v0.19-20080107, the bay file is gone: gandalf:/proc/acpi/ibm# ls beep cmos ecdump hotkey light video bluetooth driver fan led thermal volume gandalf:/proc/acpi/ibm# cat driver driver: ThinkPad ACPI Extras version: 0.19-20080107 thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.19-20080107 thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/ thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 7FETA4WW (2.22 ), EC 7FHT26WW-1.08 thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad Z61p thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled thinkpad_acpi: standard ACPI backlight interface available, not loading native one... input: ThinkPad Extra Buttons as /devices/virtual/input/input19 I am also slightly confused about the bay driver in 2.6.24: kernel: ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.IDE0.PRIM.MSTR: found ejectable bay kernel: ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.IDE0.PRIM.MSTR: Adding notify handler kernel: ACPI: Error installing bay notify handler kernel: ACPI: Bay [\_SB_.PCI0.IDE0.PRIM.MSTR] Added 1) what's this 'Error installing bay notify handler' which I've always had? 2) why does the kernel config say that this bay driver is supposed to work on thinkpads when it looks like it never worked for me and I always had the bay driver from {ibm,thinkpad}-acpi Also, note that I also patched drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c as recommended by tytso to add \_SB_.PCI0.IDE0.PRIM.MSTR: as per http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-acpi%40vger.kernel.org/msg04716.html As per the messages I got above, it looks like my Z61p with sata but IDE ultrabay still requires this patch which isn't in mainline.
