Hi,

with CONFIG_ACPI_BAY (which is new in 2.6.23), I get an ACPI event when
I insert the optical device after booting with an empty Ultrabay. I can
then use the ultrabay_insert script from
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_UltraBay_devices to make
the kernel detect the drive, so it seems to work now as intended.
