Hi, this is a problem that's been haunting me since January. I was in Nevada 
b130 then, and now I did a fresh install of 2009.06 and upgraded to 2010.03 
(/dev repository). 

The problem is still there: when I try to enable disk power management (via 
device-thresholds in power.conf), a few seconds after running pmconfig I start 
getting the "Log Sense Failed" error in dmesg. If I comment out these lines, 
and run pmconfig again, the problem goes away (but the disk doesn't spin down, 
of course).

The motherboard is an ASUS M2NPV-VM, chipset is nForce 430. Previously I was 
using a K8N4-E Deluxe with CK804 chipset, that one did spin down my disks when 
idle.

I googled the error but I can't even find the source file where the "Log Sense 
Failed" error comes from.

I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,
Hernan
