Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 125487
hd spindown prevents reboot
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:44 EST
Description of problem: When I reboot then some component of Fedora Core 2 spins my hard drive down. Thus it is not ready when the BIOS tries to find it. Reboot fails, sometimes with awfull klick sound of the drive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): standart kernel of FC2, but I'm not sure whether it is the kernel or where I could configure this. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a ExelStor G140 Hard disk as boot device 2. reboot (not halt or poweroff) computer Actual results: hard drive spins down during reboot and is not ready for BIOS early enough. Reboot Fails. Office Users horrified. Selling FC2-preinstalled Computer not possible. Expected results: hard drive keeps spinning during reboot as with red hat 9, hard drive is spinned down only for halt or poweroff Additional info: The Hard Disk(40GB) may be a bit slow but it is cheap and currently available, so I guess it is popular. I need to know where to turn this behaviour off. When I cold-restart the hard disk has enough time (at least now that I turned off Quick Selftest in the BIOS)
Try one of the test kernels here and see if this fixes it: http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel/
