Ocassionaly frequent load-unload cycles happens under Oneiric 11.10 Beta 1 
usually when watching youtube. 
This happened from 10.04 and up on every ubuntu distro. 10.04 clearly tried to 
kill my hard drive, fortunately the never versions are less cruel :) As I know 
there still isn't a 100% workaround for my hdd.

I'm using a NEC Versa one laptop without ( ACPI=off ) with the hdd
below:
