If I hit an eject button on internal IDE IOMEGA zip drive after
resume/suspend to memory on my Dell Inspiron 7500 notebook, then the
disk will be ejected even if it is mounted. This behavior happens ONLY
if I suspend my system with the mounted zip. Could I fix this somehow?
I tried to use both ide-floppy and ide-scsi drivers to access the disk
with no difference.
My settings for 2.4.4 kernel APM options are
CONFIG_APM=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set
Regards, Igor

Its an Inspiron bios bug - they fail to preserve the locked stat of the zip
drive across a suspend. Its not the worst bug in the world. In theory the
scsi/ide layer could use a PM notifier to check the locked stat is right
and force the drive into the right state. I'd take patches for it but lets
say its not high on my 'urgent problem' list

That would not work. If someone pressed eject while resuming....
[Fact that zips like to remember button presses might make this pretty
bad.]
