I guess I'll put in an "official" response.

I have a T60p and an Ultrabay HDD adapter which is hotswap-capable and I
am running Fedora 11 (a 2.6.29 kernel).

What doesn't work is that the pre-eject switch (the thing that pops out
the physical eject tab) doesn't seem to be hooked into ACPI.  There are
udev events generated by the switch, but nothing in F11 appears to be
hooked to them.

I'm willing to try out various things to get this pre-eject to work
perfectly.  I do have a 90% solution, which involves a udev action and
script modelled on the hotswap script in the ThinkPad Wiki, but I was
hoping that there would be a better way.
