This is on Gutsy, but Hardy is also affected AFAIK.

Problem:
- Hard disks lose settings (the APM level for example) when they are powered off.
- /etc/init.d/hdparm is not started on resume
=> Settings in /etc/hdparm.conf persist only from boot to next suspend.

Expected:
All settings in /etc/hdparm.conf should persist across {suspend,hibernate}/resume.

Effects:
At least the apm setting in hdparm.conf is lost. This makes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 so bad - users are not able to set the apm value without messing with their system (installing stuff from forums) because of this bug.
