HDD LED ON continously with Kernel 2.2.1-ac5
Hello:
A real quirk has raised its head upon my Debian GNU/Linux box. I have
compiled and put the devel. kernel 2.2.1-ac5. When I boot into this test
kernel, the HDD LED glows ON and does not get OFF when there is no
seek. It remains ON until I shut off the machine. Why is this so ?
While compiling the kernel, I had enabled 'Direct DMA support'. Is this
creating the wanton quirk ? I presume that the HDD LED ON does not damage
my Hard Disk and am real puzzled.......
