Subject: Possible problem with IDE device driver in kernel.
Date: Thu, 2 Jan 1997 23:35:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <97010223353900.00997@rasputan> (raw)
I would like to report a bug that I've seen in a few linux kernels now. This
may be a serious problem with the IDE controler software because it may cause
a hard drive to ware out over a period of time. I've noticed for a long time
that when linux is loaded the hard drive light on my computer goes on and
stays on. It never turns off. If I boot with windows the light turns off. I
think it may be the device driver that forgets to turn of the light. Could
one of you please confirm if this is a problem with the kernel and get back
to me if it is not.
Thank you,
Philip V. Neves
