You can install the pmu 0.6 deb from unstable. It doesn't make assumptions
about config files found in RH locations. Just a s(n)ide note.
> /etc/power/pwrctrl mentions fiddling with DMA on the PB 3400:
That's just turning off DMA in the IDE chipset (to keep from running
into cache trouble later).
Your error message looks like the disk doesn't like one of the feature set
commands the kernel sends it. I'll have to look at the IDE driver to see
if that's the DMA setting or some other drive command. Did you try
hda=noautotune, and does this happen with all kernel versions?
