From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Description of problem: When I reboot my system with all stock FC2 everything my hard drives spin down everytime and I have to wait for them to spin back up before my system can continue. This seems a little silly to say the least. I updated my kernel to 2.6.6 from the fedora rawhide directory as of may 20th and is still does this. I have used 2.6 kernels before and they have not done this on reboot. I suppose it may not be the kernel but it is the only thing I can think of that would control that. I have 2 Hard drives, a 120 maxtor and a 60 IBM deskstar I believe. I have a Soltek motherboard (DRV2) which uses VIA chipsets and I run a athlon 2000+ CPU. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.5 (stock) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Sit at my system 2.Power on 3.Type reboot in a console ;) Actual Results: hard drives spin down, then right back up while the comp stalls on the BIOS screen and waits. Expected Results: A normal reboot Additional info:
I've noticed the same behaviour. It's annoying because it is increasing the time in which the computer reboots. I don't know if it is a kernel problem, or a reboot program problem. Just before the computer reboots, the following message appears on the screen: Shutting: hda \n Shutting: hdb.
The system is placing the disks into a safe state for reset/poweroff. The upstream kernel now has a change that avoids the spindown for the specific case of reboot, so this should get folded into an errata

Alan, don't you think that this (#123873) is a duplicate of #122966 and not vice versa?
