CTenorman :- I tried your suggestions , but sadly all of it went in
vain ...My hard disk actually goes to standby after ~15 seconds.I'm
starting to wonder if linux (kernel ?libata ?) can't control my hard
disk -or hard disk controller - effectively.I don't think the problem
behind this has to do anything with laptop mode or acpi per se ..
