maybe you have to check bios apm for wakeup criteria ?
can you try running single user mode for a while and see what happens ? disconnect usb devices if necessary...

Can you confirm that the boot/root/swap HD ought to be able to sleep? What about USB? I am running a number of server processes like samba, atalk, dhcpd etc, but IMO they all ought to be able to allow the HD to sleep when there's no activity.
Any suggestions as to how I can ascertain which process is causing it?

I'm using RH 8 with 2 HDs, one is just additional storage mounted on a
dir in /home and this spins down when it has not been used for a while
and back up when required, as intended. But the other drive which
contains the full OS (only this one HD when installed) and whatever I
do with hdparm I cannot make it stay asleep. If I tell hdparm to spin
it down now (cannot remember the actual command) it does stop but
immediately starts back up again.
I'm using a USB keyboard, could this be the problem? If not, what else
can force the HD to spin up again like this?
Any ideas much appreciated.
