Sorry, but don't quite understand this. We have ACPI bindings for scsi devices, isn't that for us to use ACPI when needed in scsi? BTW, if sr_suspend should be generic, that would suggest I shouldn't write any ZPODD related code there, right? Any suggestion where these code should go then? Thanks, Aaron
