Insert here... BIOS tries to hibernate to disk and finds the disk already
asleep.

I've of course meant reinitialize with the user-supplied settings, just as we
do during normal initialization/configuration of the driver.

No, we put it back in the mode it was in before APM wacked.
Yes, if we call the settings before APM wacks it 'user settings'.

LT,

I can do it from user-space completely, but not today.
The tools are missing.
Also I have/will get my traces on my code in a day or so.

Because windows seems to drop the controller back to PIO mode 0 and the BIOS
knows about it. At least in the palmax case, although since 2.4test doesnt
boot on it as of pre9 I've not tried the 2.4 patches yet.
