Resume from suspend to RAM does not work with sata disk

[Ben Andersen]

After removing an ide data disk from the system, leaving only a sata-disk, resume from suspend stopped working.

Here is the output I get when resuming (I had to enable "Repost video on S3 resume" in the BIOS to be able to see this):

pnp: Failed to activate device 00:0d.
ata1: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)
Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 12003441
... (9 more similar lines)
Aborting journal on device sda1.
EXT-3 fs error (device sda1) in ext3_reserve_inode_write: Journal has aborted
Remounting filesystem read-only
Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 3
... (9 more similar lines)

I'm on Edgy with a 2.6.17 kernel and the system is updated with all the latest packages.

My system is an asus barebone:

Please move this defect to the correct component..

Same situation with Fujitsu-Siemens laptop Amilo Si 1520 with SATA drive! Suspend used to work with this system in Dapper until an upgrade sometime around early November 2006.

Installed Edgy fresh yesterday. I get the same printout as Ben on resume from suspend, give or take a few "Buffer I/O error" lines.

Once, after a resume, I actually got my desktop back, but not much of it worked. I got only an error dialog box complaining about some undefined I/O error whenever I tried to start anything from the menus. That would of course be expected if the root file system was mounted read only.

I noticed that /etc/acpi/sleep.sh has provisions for enabling/disabling DMA, resetting a drive etc, but only for /dev/hda. SATA hard disks will be /dev/sda.
