Are there more recent patches for the SATA-Powermanagement available
than those referenced in the ThinkWiki? Because those don't help on the
T43p, at least in my case.

About the no-DMA issue, I'm currently testing the SATA-ATAPI stuff
included in 2.6.12.3 (you have to enable it in includes/linux/libata.h
in the kernel sources) and it seems to work fine so far, haven't tried
burning a CD/DVD though.
