Bug Description

Binary package hint: acpi-support

The nohdparm boot option is useful for many hard drives that have trouble with hdparm, resulting in systematic or more random hangs and lock-ups (example bug 397096). The option is probed for by udev, but a couple of other packages do also call hdparm: pm-utils (patch in bug #437796), acpi-support.

We can and should fix this by dropping the /etc/acpi/start.d/90-hdparm script entirely - the fix for which I've committed to bzr and will include in the next upload.

This bug was fixed in the package acpi-support - 0.127

---------------
acpi-support (0.127) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Lionel Le Folgoc ]
  * lib/policy-funcs: Recognize xfce4-power-manager as a power manager.
    LP: #425155

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Drop /etc/acpi/start.d/90-hdparm.sh: this is redundant because we're
    already calling pm-powersave on start (either via /etc/acpi/power.sh,
    or by one of the desktop power managers as enumerated in
    lib/policy-funcs) so there's no reason we should be reapplying the
    policy here. LP: #443992, #438355, #318980.
  * Add guidance-power-manager to the list of known desktop power managers.
    LP: #154910

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * lib/policy-funcs: Recognize dalston as a power manager. LP: #432578
