Now, I hear disk noises. I think that the disk is trying to park its head, and/or spin down to save power, but something keeps touching it and it has to restart. I've been down this road before w/ a previous laptop and didn't have much luck figuring it out. It's just a "dink", followed a short time later by a "ssssshhhh-tunk" (yep, sounds *just* like that...). It seems to happen more when I'm on AC power, which is confusing. If anyone has any insight into power management and IBM/Hitachi disk drives, I'd love to hear it. My drive identifies itself as an "HTS548080M9AT00/MG4OA5BA". g. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
