| Method | Purpose | |--------|---------| | _STA | Status – returns if bay is present and powered | | _EJ0 | Eject – called by OS at safe removal time | | _INI | Initialize – runs at boot | | _PS0 / _PS3 | Power state control (D0 / D3 cold) |

If you are writing a low-level tool or BIOS mod, IBM0068 exposes the following ACPI methods (viewable with acpidump + iasl ):

Understanding the ACPI\IBM0068 Device: Functions, Drivers, and Troubleshooting

: For users on Linux, the full technical specification for the thinkpad_acpi driver (which handles this ACPI ID) is available in the Linux Kernel Documentation acpi ibm0068

Name (_HID, "IBM0068") // Hardware ID Name (_UID, 0x01) Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) Return (0x0F) Method (_EJ0, 1, NotSerialized) ... Name (_PRW, Package (0x02) 0x18, 0x03 )

The kernel thinks the device is busy. Unmount filesystems, close all open handles ( lsof | grep sdX ), then run echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove .

Once the driver is properly installed, the unknown device alert will disappear, and your ThinkPad's battery, sleep, and power management features will work as expected.

The hardware ID identifies the ThinkPad Power Management Device , a core component for Lenovo and IBM laptops. Primary Feature: Power Management Infrastructure
