[Bug 12519] [Hardy] [Regression] Removing Device From Hotswap Bay Freezes System

[Noel J. Bergman]

This appears to have been fixed for Gutsy, and is broken again for
Hardy.  I have tested both.

With Gutsy, I can easily swap my CD/DVD multi-burner and my PATA 2nd HD
adapter. Going further, if I configure the scripts for ACPI as described
by
http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_UltraBay_devices#Scripts_for_hotswapping
and configure HAL as described by
http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_UltraBay_devices#HAL_support,
everything works a treat.

If I remove the drive with Hardy, the system locks up solid. Not just a
UI freeze. Nothing responds, not even over the LAN or Bluetooth. A power
cycle is reequired.

Another bit of data: with Gutsy and my ThinkPad T61p 6457-7WU, the
hotswap bay shows up as 1:0:0:0; with Hardy, it shows up as 3:0:0:0.

I am marking my bug #182058 as a duplicate of this bug.
