Suspend to Ram on a T40p

[Philip Axer]

Hi,
no chance to get it to work. It is obviously the host protected area.
Turning off the hpa feature in the bios doesn't affect the behavior. I
think, that after getting awake the hpa recognition fails.
During the normal boot sequence the ide core dumps the following to the
dmesg:

[4294675.591000] hda: max request size: 128KiB
[4294675.609000] hda: Host Protected Area detected.
[4294675.609000]        current capacity is 71941106 sectors (36833 MB)
[4294675.609000]        native  capacity is 78140160 sectors (40007 MB)
[4294675.609000] hda: Host Protected Area disabled.
[4294675.609000] hda: 78140160 sectors (40007 MB) w/7898KiB Cache,
CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100)
[4294675.609000] hda: cache flushes not supported
[4294675.609000]  /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2

Is the hpa really deaktivated by the bios, although the bios option is
surely turned off.
