Hi, I installed Hardy on a friend's new Thinkpad X61 laptop, and I'm facing a serious problem. The laptop's hard drive heats up to unbearable temperature (hddtemp shows numbers over 50 degrees). When running smartctls, the hdd's Load_Cycle_Count is increased in an alarming rate. The web is filled with contradicting information on the effect. The (somewhat) official information I dug is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795327 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 The solutions offered there doesn't seem to help much.
I remember this as an Ubuntu issue a while back, but I didn't expect to see it in 8.04. I'd appreciate any suggestions to debug and solve this, Ami ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
