Hei,

i'm on a T41p and didn't follow kernel improvements for quite a while.
So i'm still using lt_hotswap for ultrabay hotswapping.

The following page on ThinkWiki -
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_UltraBay_devices#When_using_th=
e_ata_piix_driver - leaves the impression that this is not needed anymore w=
ith a hotplug enabled piix_ata driver. Is this correct?

If so...the patches there only go up to kernel 2.6.18. Has hotplug
support been merged into mainline kernel from 2.6.19 or 2.6.20?

Thanks,
Andr=C3=A9.
