[ltp] A question about lt_hotswap driver on my T23 laptop.

[hayate]

Hi all,
   I'm a linux newbie. Recently I had a try on lt_hotswap module on my Unbuntu
6.06 box and found a strange behave.
   I loaded the module explicitly after I log in to the Gnome with a ultrabay
HDD adapter in by typing the command in terminal:
      sudo modprobe lt_hotswap
 no error msg, no successful msg, I thought it succeeded, and then
 /dev/hdc  disappeared.
      ls /dev/hdc
No such file or directory

before I loaded the module, /dev/hdc did exist.
So I polled the bay out and pushed back, /deb/hdc would be back.

I don't know if it is normal behave.

Here is some logs about the acpi event (tail -f /var/log/acpid)
