Only this one does not make a change.

With this one, the cache flushing noise is no more, but still a problem 
unfortunately. With or without these patches, 2.6.6 powers down the 
drive during reboot. This is very annoying, seeing as how it immediately 
needs to spin up again for POST.

Thanks for now!
