Suspend to RAM is fine, hibernation (aka suspend to disk) is not (on my box).
Does it mean that hibernation is fine on your box with 2.6.27-rc5, although
shutdown is not?  That would require special DMI-dependent handling, so please
double check.

Anyway, please attach the output of dmidecode to
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8855
so I can include your box into the final version of the patch.

Thanks,
Rafael

I have uploaded a new version of the patch into the Bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=17618&action=view

Can you test it, please (also please attach dmesg output to the Bugzilla
entry)?

Thanks,

This version does not work for me, possibly because I use a different hard 
disk driver (ata_piix instead of sata_sil)?

I've seen there are later versions of the patch, but as the comments 

Added.

Cheers,

Thanks.  There's a new patch for you to test in there already. :-)

Seems to work correctly. The first spindown no longer happens.

In the BTS you noted the support is "partial". What's partial about it?

Thanks Rafael.

I want the quirk to be only applied to on-board controllers and that wasn't
there yet for your system.

Updated patch (hopefully final) has been uploaded as:

Thanks,
