If not, what would be the appropriate places in the sources where the spin-down requests are sent to hard disks upon system halt? I'm currently using x86 with IDE drives, but I think the (eventual) solution should be platform independent. -- ---> Dirk Jagdmann ----> http://cubic.org/~doj -----> http://llg.cubic.org
