Of course I didn't see that line. Although it shows the same whatever
value I get for -S (the command does however seem to be effective, it
says:

/dev/hda:
 setting keep_settings to 1 (on)
 setting standby to 0 (off)
 keepsettings =  1 (on)

So I assume power management is off now. Would be nice if it's just
something silly like this. Thanks a lot for the tip!
