It started happening in Gutsy with 2.6.22, and is still a problem in Hardy with 2.6.24.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

I'd say the problem still persists (at least on my Acer TM8106wlmi).

This is still not working in intrepid 8.10 ( IBM R51). see the below dmesg output:

This behavior is now present in Ubuntu 9.04 running on a Dell Latitude D800.

dmesg output follows:

[ 0.484847] ACPI: ACPI Dock Station Driver: 1 docks/bays found

Inserting/Removing a drive/CD-ROM into/from this bay worked in Intrepid.

It's possible that this bug applies to move than the Thinkpad.

After pulling the CD-ROM out of the drive bay and sticking in my other hard drive, I issued the following:

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan

The system immediately picked up the change. For some reason, the scan doesn't seem to be automatically triggered any longer.

Hi lophiomys,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . Please then run following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 163392

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I was working with the kernel 2.6.29 and currently with the kernel 2.6.30. The drive bay is working fine with the default acpi driver. With the 2.6.30 I have to call echo 0 0 0 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan as root to get my devices, 2.6.29 scans automatically on insert the hard drive.

I have found these two patches, which are related to the thikpad_acpi bay driver, and removes the deprecates bay support from the thinkpad_acpi driver.

I can't answer your question since I don't own that laptop anymore - I still don't think that's the way to get rid of bugs. (just my 2c)

Thomas,
     Thank you for the links. We will have a look at them.

Christian,
      I'm not sure to what you are referring when you say you "don't think 'that' is the way to get rid of bugs." Would you mind explaining for me so that I can understand?

Thanks!
