Update,

The system is FC6 with a 2.6.21.1 kernel

Kernel config checked and ata_piix module loaded.
Scripts in thinkpad wiki installed.

acpi appears to be working
the system beeps whenever the bay eject lever is released or closed.

/proc/partition does not change

The bay works successfully on boot.

dmesg shows command errors attempting to read device
