[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#426224: Please update shutdown to support libata drivers in newer kernels

[Simon Vallet]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-38

Using current (2.6.22) kernels in Debian leads to an error when
shutting down the machine if some disks are managed by libata drivers:

DISK MIGHT NOT BE SPUN DOWN PROPERLY. UPDATE SHUTDOWN UTILITY.

The details are explained there: http://linux-ata.org/shutdown.html

I think shutdown should be updated to fix this.

The machine is a Dell Latitude C610 running testing and a git (2.6.22-rc2)
kernel, using ata_piix drivers from libata to access the ICH-3 controller.
