This patch fixes a problem with computers that have HPA on their hard drive and not being able to come out of resume from RAM or disk. I've tested this patch on 2.6.17.x and 2.6.18-rc4 and it works great on both of these. This patch also fixes the bug #6840. This is my first patch to the kernel and I was told to e-mail the above people to get my patch into the kernel. If I made a mistake please be gentle and correct me ;) Lee Trager
