The ejection work perfectly,

I use this procedure :

ibm_bay()
{
  case "$param1" in
    00000001)
      logger "BAY will be inserted"
      /bin/sleep 1
      /bin/sync
      /sbin/idectl 1 rescan
      ;;
    00000003)
      logger "BAY will be ejected"
      /bin/sync
      /sbin/idectl 1 off
      /bin/echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
      ;;
    *) logger "ACPI ibm/bay $param1 is not configured";;
  esac
}

My T42 ooops when I do the "/sbin/idectl 1 rescan" if I put the DVD
back. If it's a Battery : all is ok (eect/insert/eject ...)
