Exactly. I will try to move my box from thinkpad-acpi bay to standard bay
soon, and at that time, I am certain to find out (and document) what needs
to be done, at least for 2.6.23.y.   No promises for 2.6.24 right now, as I
am too short on time this week.

I can't.  ENODEV is the expected response if there is no bay.
