(while it is "being normal" to you, try this and see if it works - if it does, then try slipping its respective halves into the apm event.d sequence) Try using hdparm to order the CD to completely shutdown/stop spinning. Then use hdparm to order it to spin back up again. (I don't have the device at hand, but -y says to tell it "suspend" and I bet it's going -Y "sleep" which would need some sort of reset to recover. I'm not sure how to get an IDE chain to issue a reset on demand.) "fiddling" with parameters might be because some IDE option (that perhaps there is a flag for) is "allergic" to the sleep/wake sequence, or just plain ol' flaky. Anyways if you can manage to reproduce the flakiness and a recovery using a bit of scientific experiment with hdparm, then you win. * Heather Stern * star@ many places... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
