I installed etch onto a new pc which is made up of a low energy
consumption mobo and two 2.5 inch laptop 120 gig harddrives.
The low energy consumption was my priority because I want to leave the
machine on 24x7. However these are the first 2.5 inch harddrives
I've ever
had and they (or at least one of them) are making a disconcerting
clicking
noise every 5 to 25 seconds at random - it sounds a bit like a
metronome,
if it wasn't so irregular.
The hard drive in my Thinkpad did that for about a day, then it died.
Consider saving up for a new hard drive soon.
And a backup, like right now.
From what I am aware of this is an unnresolved issue with the linux
kernel. No one seems to care or be aware.
