Bug Description
Binary package hint: acpi-support
I am running lucid 64-bit from my external hdd (freecom mobile xxs).
When i try to update the package it tries to disable powermanagement.
This takes relative long and after this my disk is read only.
Which triggers errors (could not enummerate,...) and of course the package doesn't install further.
I've tried booting with noacpi as bootparameter but it doesn't work.
Also disabling acpi-support with sysv-rc-conf in every runlevel didn't work.
I also had problems with errors at boot before but this is resolved with the new hdparm package.
I still have resets of the disk late in the bootproces, but this triggers no errors. Maybe this is related.
on the same hardware i can update the package when running lucid from my usb-stick (cruzer).
I suspect there is something wrong with the powermanagement of the disk. But haven't found a solution.
Is there something i can do to test?

The problem with your disk being marked read-only is probably related to pm-powersave invoking hdparm (via /usr/lib/ pm-utils/ power.d/ 95hdparm- apm).
If you boot with the 'nohdparm' option, does this solve the problem?
The acpi-support part of this bug is straightforward - we should not be calling 'invoke-rc.d acpi-support start' in the package postinst, the init script is only meant to be used for setting the initial power management policy at boot time.
