These are kernel patches to use what is called laptop-mode.  It really=20
shouldnt have any affect on the ultrabay stuff.  It basically just=20
delays hard drive writes for 10 minutes when you are on battery so that=20
it doesn't use much power.  I used a patch for it against 2.6.1 that=20
applied cleanly.  If you are using 2.4 kernel, the laptop_mode stuff=20
should already be integrated in I believe.
