Description of problem: I have Asus A2800S laptop. FC6 detected my hard disk as IDE (hda) and computer halted normally. FC7 detects hard disk as SATA (sda). When system is halting (just before power off) I hear a suspicious "click" from hard disk. I have to downgrade kernel to 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. halt system Actual results: system is halted, but hard disk is not halted properly Expected results: disk must be halted quietly
I was wondering about this too. The HD makes a much louder sound just before turning off than it did in FC6, almost a thump. I have no idea if it's anything to be concerned about.

Hello Alexey, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. (In reply to comment #2) > This appears to be a duplicate of bug #243021. This bug has been closed by the reporter - I'm aware of the other issues you are having Andre but could you tell me if you are still having problems with this as well? There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you (the reporter) tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
This has been fixed for me for a while now.
No, I do not have this bug now. I do not use Fedora any more... Now I use Ubuntu. There was the same problem, but I find a workaround: echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/0\:0\:0\:0/stop_on_shutdown
