I notice in Linux and in XP the drive bay light
remains on while the laptop is in suspend-to-RAM. I
know the ACPI thinkpad extras added to the kernel
recently can turn this off. I wonder if we can/or need
to write hooks to turn the light off so to conserve
power when we're in S3
Thoughts?
Shawn.

You probably want to expand the extras driver to turn it off during
S3.

Just disable it in your suspend script. There's no reason to push that
sort of policy into the kernel.
