Package: sysvinit Version: 2.86.ds1-6 Severity: wishlist File: /sbin/halt Currently, halt -h only spins down IDE disks. When turning off my laptop, which has an SATA disk, I could hear quite a loud clicking noise, similar to the noise described in bug #157355 followup 10. After I modified /sbin/halt to spin down the disk, shutdown has become much more silent.
Since the ioctl used to spin down IDE disks is also supported for SATA disks, I think it is just a matter of enumerating these disks. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15sreichelt Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages sysvinit depends on: ii coreutils 5.93-5 The GNU core utilities ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-6 Standard scripts needed for bootin ii libc6 2.3.5-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libselinux1 1.26-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 1.10-1 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii sysv-rc 2.86.ds1-6 Standard boot mechanism using syml sysvinit recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
