http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10574 Summary: Hard disk makes bad noise at poweroff when shutting down. Product: IO/Storage Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: 2.6.24 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: IDE AssignedTo: io_ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: ron.w@xxxxxx Latest working kernel version: N/A. Earliest failing kernel version: all the earlier kernels I know do have this problem. Distribution: Sidux (Debian SID). Same on Sabayon (Gentoo), Kanotix (Debian, Ubuntu), Knoppix (Debian), PowerCinemaLinux (PC-Linux). Hardware Environment: Medion MD95500 = Arima W810-DCX Software Environment: N/A Problem Description: It seems to be the same noise as described in #7674 for S-ATA devices exactly. Now it happens with Parallel Ultra-ATA /100 (ATA/ATAPI-6, UDMA5). Hard Drive: Seagate ST9100823A, Firmware Version FW3.02 Controller: Intel ICH6M This noise occurs on every shutdown from linux (and from linux only!) when it powers down the machine. It does not happen on suspend-to-ram nor on suspend-to-disk. Same bad noise as if cutting power by pressing the power button for 4 seconds for emergency power off. Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-2.6.24.4.slh.5-sidux-686 i686 [ sidux 2008-01 Νυξ - kde-full - (200804120009) ] In #7674 the given solution is: >> 1. Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat >> exists. If it does, write 0 to it. This file does not exist. So where is that patch gone? Steps to reproduce: Power down the Notebook using K-Menu entry or shutdown-command on commandline. Will *not* happen on Suspend-to-Disk or Suspend-to-Ram. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
