As said, the current hdparm version (9.27-2) in Debian Testing (Squeeze) fixes the problem. Therefore I've attached a compressed file which contains both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version of hdparm 9.27-2. Simply double-click the .deb file and it'll install itself automatically. Then reboot.
Maybe this'll help getting it into the updates for Lucid.... ** Attachment added: "Contains fixed version of hdparm (9.27-2), both 32 bit and 64 bit." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48915159/hdparm_fix.tar.gz ** Changed in: hdparm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- [Lucid] hdparm.conf change doesn't have effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
