Works fine for me, using the "hotswap" program and a script which echos 
eject to /proc/acpi/ibm/bay. This file is still present when I only have 
an ultrabay battery.

That is a bit of a pain. Have you read the entry in thinkwiki on 
ultrabay batteries (some written by me)?

The solution is to ignore acpi and use tp_smapi for battery info.
