Bug#514025: [linux-image-2.6.26-1-686] ide hard drive spins down twice during suspend to ram

[Heiner Markert <mephisto@gmx.net>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When suspending my machine to ram using s2ram or "echo mem  
> /sys/power/state", the kernel prints "suspending consoles" and the drive 
spins down. Shortly after, it spins up again followed by an immediate 
spin-down. Afterwards, the system is entering "switched off" into standby 
mode.
I think this spin-down-up-down cycle is unnecessary and will shorten the disks 
lifetime.

Regards
Heiner
