Isn't SATA disk 1 sda, and SATA disk 2 sdb under Linux (a, b, c, etc. each actual hard drive and 1, 2, 3 for partition)? I'm talking about the grub naming scheme which I now learn is hd0 for hard disk no. 1 whether SATA or ATA (1, 2, 3 for actual hard drive).

This type of noise (I think it's now more of a chirp like a bird than a click) I never heard before in my previous installation of Debian testing. Actually I don't think of the sound as noise since it happens at random. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
