Kernel patches
I updated some kernel patches:
- disk-protection patch for hdaps which is used for hard disk head parking on ibm/lenovo notebooks if acceleration is measured: disk-protect-2623-rc8.patch
Source patch: 2.6.20 - aggressive link power management (ALPM is a technique where the SATA AHCI controller will put the SATA link to the disk into a very low power mode when there’s no IO going on for some time)
aggressive_link_power_management-2622.patch
aggressive_link_power_management-2623-rc8.patch
Some more information on lesswatts.org
Source patches on kernel.org - e1000 fix on x60s which fixes the initialization of e1000 on ibm/lenovo thinkpad x60s if no cable is connected.
