Hi, Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay, for some reason I never got your reply by Cc or the linux-thinkpad list, but found it in the ibm-acpi-devel web archive.

I'm pretty sure I could do that with 2.6.22 or 2.6.24 but those did not recognize the battery when I hotswapped it, although it did work. If that old kernels help, I can do some test with those if you'd like (also tell me what data to gather, if any). > > If I remove the ultrabay battery after hotswapping the main battery, > > things work ok after that. > > If I leave the ultrabay battery and suspend the laptop, on resume I get > > text mode and blinking cursor and nothing after that, the laptop is just > > dead. > > What is the kernel configuration you're using, please? http://marc.merlins.org/tmp/config > > Can you reproduce and possibly fix? > > I can't seem to reproduce it on my T43. > > > (it's hard for me to give debug since the laptop is dead on resume) > > Usually you can get it to output data to the serial port (serial console) or > a network console, but that requires another computer to which you can send > the data to see it. I take it that usb-serial won't work, but I think the docking station has serial on it. I might be able to borrow one. If I do and do serial console, would I get some output on that serial port at resume time you think? Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
