Behaviour confirmend on an IBM Thinkpad R52 with harddisk Hitachi HTS541060G9AT00. Default value for APM is 128 after a clean install of Gutsy Gibbon. A value of 192 or bigger, set with "hdparm -B", seems to be the range of values with no load cycles.

The load cycles are *not* limited to battery power mode on my system. I also had them when not in battery power mode.
