As I think that K makes a better description the bug, I permit myself to reproduce his comment here:
I am using Gutsy and I've noticed a strange problem: When using the 2.6.22-14 kernel the hdd is making a strange high pitch sound similar to some kind of beeping. I suspect that the head is constantly moving even when the computer is idle and this can not be good. When I boot up with 2.6.20-16-generic the problem is gone. PS It's probably good to know that my hdd is FUJITSU MHW2080B and hdparm -B is set to 255 by default which means that advanced power management is off. K By the way, here is what answers me the command hdparm -B /dev/sda for me: /dev/sda: IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 9729/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0 -B: bad/missing power-management-mode value (1..255) -- Noisy hard disk Gutsy (configuring grub is not enough) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
