Locking up one was HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GSA-H30N and it correctly reports that it doesn't support IPM. Here are some test results.

Harddisks All the harddisks I have behave themselves. Impressive. ==== In all cases, hotplug works well even after ALPM is configured. Have no idea why. It might be that PARTIAL/SLUMBER mode didn't kick in or ICH9 has some magic feature to detect PHY status changes even in PS mode (wishful thinking). Will repeat the test with ICH7 when I get some time. Anyone up for testing JMB and VIA? With some massging to ahci_disable_alpm(), I think it can be fairly safe on this chipset at least. -- tejun - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
