Hello,

I believe that if you do the following, then the "thinkpad_acpi" bay 
handler *should* install and work properly (in Ubuntu 8.10):
   - Add "thinkpad_acpi" to /etc/modules
   - Add "blacklist bay" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
   - Run "update-initramfs -u"
   - Reboot

This prevents bay.ko from autoloading and places thinkpad_acpi in the boot 
ramdisk image, where it is able to be loaded before anything else that 
might try to install a handler.

Hope this helps,
-j.
