I can corfirm this. It works when disabling ACPI in libata or when loading the 
bay module before the libata module.

Btw., is it possible to tell hal once and for all that my HD in the bay is 
removable? I added an entry according to 
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_UltraBay_devices but the key and 
the value seems to change with each new hal or kernel version.

Now I use info.parent instead of storage.physical_device but its value changes 
frequently and I use three different rules with the following values:
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_24ca_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_24ca_scsi_host_0_scsi_device_lun0
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_24ca_1_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0

Jörg
