The Acer Aspire 5050 risks less breakage than some other Acer models,
but still has some Windows hooks in the SATA code that
will get disabled by OSI(Linux). Unless you notice
something related to SATA running better with OSI(Linux) enabled,
I'm going to keep this one blacklisted to disable OSI(Linux).
thanks,
