Secondary battery/DVD swapping - no worky (doesn't find the new device, crashes, etc)
this worked some time ago on my thinkpad. i had to atacontrol detach first, then swap drive for battery. may be worth a try. if it doesn't work, you can also try the following chain of actions and permutations thereof: (detach), swap, suspend, resume, (attach) of course attaching and detaching the battery doesn't make sense, so you leave out these when necessary.
You can use atacontrol to detach a drive and allow its removal and to add a new drive. One thing that does not work is adding a battery. Nate is working on code to support this, but it's not at the top of his list of things to get working in the ACPI code, so you can't add a battery, yet. IF added, nothing bad happens...the system just does not recognize that it's there.
NOTE!!!! If you boot with a battery and want to replace it with a disk, you MUST do "atacontrol detach 1" before inserting the disk.
