Ejecting a drive from a laptop bay...

I have an IBM T42p.  I am running the latest rawhide system and I wanted 
to try ejecting the drive from the bay.  I found some mentiond of 
/proc/acpi/ibm/bay which reports the bay status and accepts the command 
"eject".  However, when I send 'echo "eject" > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay' the 
system freezes.  I googled around and I can't find any documentation on 
how one might eject a drive bay that isn't for pre-2.6 kernels.  Can 
someone give me some pointers on what I might be doing wrong if anything?

Thanks
