I found a setting labelled "SATA Power Management". It was set to

This can't be something changed between 2.6.24 and 2.6.25-rc9. Can
you please double check that?

I double-checked as follows:

* Verified "SATA Power Management" set to "Enable"
* Verified optical device present in 2.6.24.3
* Verified optical device not present in 2.6.25-rc9

Thanks for checking. Yeah, on the second though, ata_piix as of 2.6.24.3 doesn't have SCR access at all, so it would have just worked. Maybe what's necessary is more refined link onlineness test. I'll prep a patch.


Can you please try the attached patch? Thanks.
