please upgrade to the latest version of powersaved (0.11.10). It should
have entered testing yesterday.
In powersaved_0.9.25 the script
/usr/lib/powersave/scripts/set_disk_settings used hardcoded device names
of the form /dev/hdX in exec_hdparm(). The newer version uses hal for
this. Unfortunately I cannot test it with a SATA drive because I don't
own one. If powersaved_0.11.10-1 still fails to detect your SATA drive,
please execute the commands from
/usr/lib/powersave/scripts/set_disk_settings in exec_hdparm() manually.
most importantly
DISK`hal-find-by-property --key storage.drive_type --string disk`
BUS=`hal-get-property --udi $DISK --key storage.bus`
...
and tell me, what BUS type you get and also the other output.
Hi Michael,
thanks a lot for your quick answer ! I upgraded as you adviced:
powersaved config files are more complex but it is also more clear. And
kpowersave is nice too !
I tested what you adviced me:
linotte:/etc/powersave# hal-find-by-property --key storage.drive_type
--string disk
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_NW21T5C26S8F
linotte:/etc/powersave# hal-get-property --udi
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_NW21T5C26S8F --key storage.bus
scsi
The detection is ok, and the answer is "scsi". I am not sure that it's
the answer you were expecting... Maybe you wanted to have "sata" or
something else ?
For info, in my kernel I use this config:
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED=y
I activated the log and removed the AC power to switch to powersave
mode, here is the log:

It seems that powersave ignore the "non-ide drive". remount are ok, but
hdparm is not launched for power management...
Am I right ?
JF.
