My little Maxtor hard drive works fine with:
/usr/sbin/hdparm -c1 -m16 -u1 -d1 -W1 -X34 /dev/hda # -S180
hda: Maxtor 71000 A, 958MB w/64kB Cache, CHS=1946/16/63, DMA
...this is the free warranty replacement when I accidently pushed the previous one off the edge of a mouse pad while it was spinning, causing a head crash. I've been using SMP 2.1.x kernels just about the entire time with the same settings too.
