The issue you are experiencing results in the same problem (disk doing
power off retract) but it has a totally different root cause - your notebook
loses power on reboot.  It is actually a hardware problem and as you have
reported the same problem is present when using "the other" OS.

I think that the issue needs to be fixed (by detecting affected notebook(s)
using DMI?) in Linux PM handling and not in IDE subsystem because:

* there may be some other hardware devices affected by the power loss
  (== they require shutdown sequence)

* the same problem will bite if somebody decides to use libata (FC7?)

OpenSUSE 10.3 is still in Alpha stage (at least a few months away from
release), but they too have switched to libata by default.  (You can
override by adding a boot param).
