[Bug 67810] Re: bad hard disk noise on shutdown

2007-05-28 Thread Sam Ma
My drives are still mapped at /dev/sda. I can't say if the fix has worked or not because I'm reluctant to turn off the stop_on_shutdown workaround, but I'm confident that since my drives are still mapped as sda, it hasn't worked for me either. -- bad hard disk noise on shutdown

Yes, this definitely is an Ubuntu-specific problem. I just downloaded the RPMs from the OOo site and installed them using Alien. The crashing no longer occurs when I run a full screen impress presentation and exit... yay! -- weird document recovery attempt of openoffice after fullscreen

Martin or Tormod, can you guys e-mail that script to me? I'm still pretty new to Linux and I'm not exactly sure how I would go about writing a script to do such a command. You can reach me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks -- bad hard disk noise on shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67810

Thanks, Martin. I created the script... but stupid me, I'm running Ubuntu Edgy which doesn't have the stop_on_shutdown patch implemented. Is it possible for someone to send me the patch, or do I have to upgrade the kernel? -- bad hard disk noise on shutdown

I'm kinda overwhelmed with all of this tweaking (like I said, I'm not exactly a Linux guru...), so I'm going to install Dapper later today and see if the same thing happens. -- bad hard disk noise on shutdown https://launchpad.net/bugs/67810 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list

Okay, I tried blacklisting libata and then running the command update-initramfs -u But when I rebooted the OS, I didn't see any changes. IIRC, using the old IDE driver should make my partitions be recognized by hdx rather than sdx, right? Anyhow, I still see my partitions as sda and I still

I'm not exactly a Linux guru, so I'm not exactly sure how I'd blacklist libata. I tried googling to find out how, but nothing turned up. I've tried editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist with gedit but I don't know what to add to blacklist it; Is it as simple as writing blacklist libata ? I

If we have an IDE drive, is there a way to NOT use libata and to use the old IDE driver (without having to reinstall)? Perhaps this could serve as a temporary fix for those with IDE drives instead of SCSI/SATA drives -- bad hard disk noise on shutdown https://launchpad.net/bugs/67810 --

I'm by no means an expert when it comes to this stuff... but by skimming through the link that Tormod posted, it appears that there's in a bug in the kernel(s) that have to do with our hardware being recognized as SCSI? (i.e /dev/sd*), which makes sense because my partitions are recognized as sda1

Happens to me too. It's weird because I've installed the same Ubuntu on my other laptop and it shuts down just fine. I'm running an Asus Z63a (Pentium-M 1.73 Ghz 533 MHz FSB, 60Gb Samsung Spinpoint M HDD) The other laptop that works fine is an Asus M6Ne (Pentium-M 1.5 GHz 400 MHz FSB, 80Gb
