Can you give sample values that those file are exporting ? (I have no IBM laptop and don't feel like searching for documentation on this specific aspect) Feel free to point us to any existing documentation on that topic. > >Feel free to provide a patch. :-) > > My programming skills might not be up to these intricacies, how about a > donation to the Debian project instead? :P We're lacking more man-power than money.

The more interesting thing is to know if the kernel is aware of the fact that something has been hot-plugged and how can it give us this information. I fear that the IDE bus is not really hotplug friendly and that we simply have no way to discover this automatically (hence the need of a tool to ask for a rescan of the IDE bus by the kernel). But I'm neither an hardware expert nor a kernel specialist, so I may be wrong. I hope someone from debian-devel can enlighten us on this aspect.
