[PLUG] Lucid SSD issues (e.g. Mini9)


For anyone running an SSD, especially on a netbook like a Mini9, there 
seems to be several issues going on.

devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential 
hardware death
[Really, really long, moved to bug 574462, see below]
Lucid fixed some cases:

[Pretty sure this one affects me on my Mini9]


Other/older:
HDA freezes (but recovers) under lucid beta on HP netbook

I'm seeing stuff like the following at 37 minutes after every other 
hour, mostly.  See

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
