Re: powerbook hang from post-sleep cdrom access - fix

Aye. Can you be more specific about 'do whatever needs to be done'? Can I
just send the disk a read command to wake it up? Send a reset
command?? Will a reset command hurt if I always send a drive reset
there?

I don't know yet ;) I have to look more closely at my ATA spec. It may
not be necessary to wakeup the disk in fact, the current code seems to be
ok for the hard disk once the timeout has been bumped.

Except that when the disk has been shut down with hdparm -Y, it needs a
reset and that will only come after quite some number of retries ans
timeouts. Not for the faint of heart :-)

Let me know when you have some code to test. I can test with CD-ROM and
Zip in the media bay as well BTW. Are your current changes in Paul's
stable tree or in the bk stable only? Six rsync trees is a bit much for me
to manage :-)

XFree86 related PCI resource diff follows separate.
