Kernel 2.6 reboot turns off the hard drives

[Andrei Badea <andrei.badea@movzx.net>]

Hello,

just upgraded to the 2.6 kernel (2.6.6) and when I reboot, the hard 
drives are turned off. They are then powered on during the boot 
sequence. I'm using APM loaded as a module. I've been running 2.4.25 
before without ever experiencing this problem.

I'll be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance,

Andrei
