Some further experimentation has revealed that the issue may be with the drive Advanced Power Management function. When operating on AC power, hdparm -B /dev/sda gives APM_level = 254 A few seconds after removing AC power, hdparm -B /dev/sda gives APM_level = 127 Running like this for a few

Tracking it through more files than I can recall, I found that /usr/lib /pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm calls /lib/hdparm/hdparm-functions which includes the following lines: if hdparm_is_on_battery; then hdparm_set_option -B127 Changing -B127 to -B254 seems to prevent APM causing

@VS: I tried but that had no effect. Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried running Fedora 17 (Beta) with kernel 3.3.3 - this works fine with no issues. That points to it being Ubuntu related as the issue is present in Ubuntu with kernel 3.2.0-24 AND 3.4 mainline, but not present in Fedora 17

Upstream (kernel) issue number is 43117. Please see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43117 Note: This is the first time I have reported a kernel bug and as such there is a high likelihood that it is miscategorised or otherwise poorly filed. Any advice or help would be appreciated. **
