I'm still using 7.0.91 and I have a TP570E instead, but I have a couple of
similar issues.  I found that APM and hdparm don't play nice together. The
initscripts have started doing hdparm so go look in
/etc/sysconfig/harddisk* and make sure the ONLY thing that gets passed to
hdparm is -u1.  That option seems to be usable but NONE of the others are.
That said, the drive still seems to perform better than one would expect
from the output of hdparm -v /dev/hda so something odd is going on.  I get
about 4MB per second through the filesystem which is a bit fast for 16bit
polled IO.

Another problem I have is that if I suspend while connected to the mains I
can't resume unless I plug it back in.  It's consistent, bang all you want
on the keyboard and nothing happens until the AC is restored and then a
single touch of the FN key wakes it right back up.
