HDD LED doesn't light.

Hello,

No matter how much harddisk activity is occuring on my system, the
harddisk LED stays off. At first I thought I'd misconnected the lead,
but under Windows the light is functional.

This occurs on both my SATA harddisk and my PATA harddisk.

SATA controller: Silicon Image sil3112
PATA controller: NForce2
Motherboard : Abit NF7-S 2.0
CPU : AthlonXP 3000+

The earliest kernel I've used with this hardware is 2.6.6, and the
problem occurs right up to 2.6.8.1.

I'm completely clueless as I was under the impression that the hardware
controlled the LED.

Could I please be CC'd any replies as I'm not subscribed to the list.

Regards,
Ben Skeggs
