For me it seems fixed in Edgy. HPA area is accessible after resume and works w/o any problems. (made dd tests, etc.). Using suspend nearly one week. Here is messages after resume : Oct 13 10:13:51 localhost kernel: [17221583.264000] hda: Host Protected Area detected. Oct 13 10:13:51 localhost kernel: [17221583.264000] ^Icurrent capacity is 78140159 sectors (40007 MB) Oct 13 10:13:51 localhost kernel: [17221583.264000] ^Inative capacity is 78140160 sectors (40007 MB) Oct 13 10:13:51 localhost kernel: [17221583.264000] hda: Host Protected Area disabled.
