The best solution we found was "hdparm -Y /dev/hdX" (and /dev/cdrom). It works on hard disks if not all CD-ROMs.
The other noise is the power supply fan. Stock PCs offer no s/w fan control. Some PowerPC machines have it (although Ubuntu-PPC/Debian-PPC still has serious bugs). http://www.silentpcreview.com http://www.endpcnoise.com Mark _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
