Hei,

since ibm-acpi supports ultrabay and dock/undock events i just wanted to
adjust the scripts for my machine.

Trouble is that when i do i.e. a hdparm -U 1 /dev/hdc (my combo drive),
the thing would just say
   /dev/hdc:
   attempting to unregister hwif#1
and nothing more.
After that /proc/ide/ide1 still exists with the full file tree inside
it.

I'm using 2.6.9 and udev. The ide driver is built into the kernel.

Any idea what might go wrong?

André.
