If you remember the old machine control labs where you used to play tunes on servo actuators? Well it was a bit like that only with less tuneful bursts. Possibly this is related to the earlier discussion about problems on sleep/wakeup. Fortunately the disk survived (nothing worse than an fsck required and the MacOS partitions were not touched). However, I'm a little reluctant to make a habit of trying this (I feel that this time I was lucky). Is it possible to disable sleep on the PowerBooks and still have a run-able kernel? Although I can't be 100% sure it was sleep related - at least this would eliminate that as a cause - it's really too nasty to want to try it often as an experiment.
