Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.103-1
Severity: important

as recently seen on slashdot [1], acpi ends up repeatedly load cycling
certain hard disks on ubuntu [2].  

it is now confirmed that this problem affects debian sid as well (i have 
not tested this on etch or before).  my Load_Cycle_Count is now at 718,694.
this is very bad because the average Load_Cycle_count before failure for 
most hard disks is 600,000.

  $ smartctl -a /dev/hda | grep 193
  193 Load_Cycle_Count        0x0032   001   001   000    Old_age   Always
-       718694

i have a dell inspiron 8200 notebook and an IDE hard disk:

  $ hdparm -i /dev/hda

  /dev/hda:

   Model=ST9100823A, FwRev=3.07, SerialNo=3LG0V07X
   Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% }
   RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4
   BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=8192kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off
   CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=195371568
   IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
   PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 
   DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 
   UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 
   AdvancedPM=yes: unknown setting WriteCache=enabled
   Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 2:  ATA/ATAPI-1,2,3,4,5,6

a temporary solution is to disable advanced power management for the hard 
disk:

  $ hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda
  /dev/hda:
   setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled

thanks for the hard work.

 .
   * Took over package for pkg-acpi. Closes: #522683

   * Check for 1000H as well in EeePC check. Closes: #515707
   * New upstream version: Closes: #448673
     * The rfkill interface has changed again in the 2.6.27 release(!), so
       play catch-up once more.
     * lib/state-funcs: add support for checking the new /sys/class/rfkill
       interface for toggling wireless antennas.  LP: #267875

     * Add installation for ac.d/ and battery.d/ directories.
       (LP: #274599)
     * wireless.sh: Fix obviously wrong typo in function call name -
       toggleWirelessStates is a non-existant function
       (LP: #108897, deb #430895)
     * Fix asus brightness hotkeys so lowest/highest brightness recognized
       (LP: #76593)

       Debian has been accumulating valuable fixes and structural changes for
       some years, but it will take some time to digest all of them.
     * Let laptop-mode-tools run properly (closes LP: #250938)
       - power.sh: remove laptop-mode invocations, should be handled by pm-utils
       - acpi-support: remove SPINDOWN_TIME, should be controlled by laptop-mode
