#1 Boot without dvd drive

[Diego Alcorta]

When I boot my thinkpad my dvd-rom is removed when I
load the module lt_hotswap. For it to be detected I
have to eject then re-plug it with the computer on
(hot-swap). I'm using Gentoo GNU/Linux kernel 2.6.16
and lt_hotswap 0.3.6. My computer is a R40. Everything
else works like a charm. Thanks

I can confirm this...after loading the lt_hotswap module,
/dev/hdc is missing.

Same problem here on a T23 with CD and Zip drives (IDE), no problem with floppy drive.

Same here on my T30 with CD drive (IDE). I need to pop the eject switch and push it back in before I can use my CD drive for the first time after loading the module.

I found this problem too, only after I found this bug report though, sadly! I've patched 0.3.6 with a fix so your devices don't get unregistered when the lths module loads. If you want to check it out I've uploaded it here as a patch -> http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1746386&group_id=160630&atid=816619
