All,

The system is a T41 running a 2.6.21 kernel and tp_smapi installed. The 
tpwiki scripts are also installed.

Drive removal appears to work fine. The drive powers off and the removal 
get the anticipated beep.

Drive install also appears to work, the drive powers up, and receives 
the appropriate beep.

However after a drive install attempts to reference the drive result is 
a complete system hang with the disk light full on. Due to the hang no 
diagnostic information is available. Does anyone have any tips or clues?

Thanks - Dan
