Jon,

This has been tried both with and without patches previously posted on 
this list. Have you tried the .26 kernel?

Which is the more common mapping for hard drives in
current  distributions, hda or sda? I am trying to make
ultra bay hot swap to  work. Does it depend on an hda or
sda mapping? Is it independent of hda  versue sda?

I think some important libata fixes have gone into the
kernel in &gt;= 2.6.26. With 2.6.25, I cannot convince libata
to let go of the bay device.

If you're finding that you are going to hard-code
/dev/[sh]d? into a script I think you may want to rethink
how you are doing it.
