Hi List, I have an iBook G3 700 Mhz here, running an 2.6.17.6 and a debian sid. Runs fine so far, sleepmode works etc. Unfortunately I had an HD failure and had to replace the HD. I bought an SAMSUNG MP0804H and replaced it. I have not been able to stop this disk from running so far!
If I try to enable apm via hdparm, it gets me no errors: # hdparm -k 1 -B 150 /dev/hda /dev/hda: setting keep_settings to 1 (on) setting Advanced Power Management level to 0x96 (150) keepsettings = 1 (on) It prints no errors, neither on the terminal, nor in any logfile I checked. But still, it doesn't change the setting, the harddisk is running all the time and hdparm shows me, it changed nothing: # hdparm -i /dev/hda /dev/hda: Model=SAMSUNG MP0804H, FwRev=UE100-19, SerialNo=S042J10L253128 [...] AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled [...] What can I do about it? It is not very healthy for the hd to run all the time, I can hear it scratching if I move the machine. Thanks for any help, Johannes -- "Feel free" – 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...
