When resuming from S3, the hard drive password has to be resubmitted to the drive since it was powered down during the S3 "shutdown". In order to avoid the time it takes to initialize the ATA subsystem, if a password was not set, we just skipped initializing the subsystem. But we had to initialize it and submit the password to each drive if one was set. This sounds like what is happening (or not happening) in this report. Later we found that we had to initialize the ATA subsystem and "freeze" the hard drive password to prevent the OS or 3rd party tools from setting up the hard drive password if the password was not set (this is because we hashed the password to prevent the drive from being moved to another system and hacked if the user had a reasonably easy password ("MyInspiron", for example; and the other tools do not know the hashing algorithm). --Charles -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
