I also recently lost a disk on powerbook5,6 running lenny. I did not
report it as I used a vanilla kernel and assumed the failure might
have been related to problems with suspending and Xorg. In fact I lost
it trying to wake it up after suspend. If indeed it was also a
load/unload problem I think it the problem should be described in red
in Debian README with suggestions how to avoid it.
