Are stating a multi-write error with the latest IDE-driver?
Or is this an APM thing?

I am asking because the new ide-disk multi-write code is my
additions. I never tested against APM, since I don't think it is wise
to spindown an ide disk without a full CPU sleep. I have zero
knowledge of APM, but if the procfs is updating at all, I can
invision chaos in the driver.

Someone bring me up to speed if this is a new issue to be addressed
wrt to the IDE-driver and APM.

Cheers,
