We don't have ACPI bindings for generic SCSI devices. We have such bindings for SATA drives. You can put such things only in sr if it applies to all (maybe most) types of drives. > 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? libata. Maybe some generic hooks can be called in sr_suspend(). Regards Oliver PS: Are you sure sr_suspend() handles DVD-RAMs correctly?
