Description Renato S. Yamane 2006-08-13 14:12:39 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: Vendor Kernel 2.6.16.13 and
2.6.16.21 both from OpenSuSE 10.1

Distribution: OpenSuSE 10.1

Hardware Environment: Laptop Toshiba M45-S355

Software Environment: KDE 3.5.1
Problem Description: When I shutdown my laptop, my HD make a strange "click"
when laptop turn-off.

I found this problem in SuSE 10.0 (vendor kernel 2.6.13) but NOT in OpenSuSE
10.1 (vendor kernel 2.6.16.13 and 2.6.16.21).

This problem still occur in Kernel 2.6.17.x and 2.6.18RC3 (both from
kernel.org). I don't try more versions.

I attach a small mp3 file (25kb) with this sound comment by me.

My HD don't have problem!

Newer kernels put the drive into power saving mode on power off so that wouldn't
suprise me at all if the drive went "boink" as it parked the heads.
Comment 3 Renato S. Yamane 2006-08-17 08:06:58 UTC 
Alan,
Kernel 2.6.13 have this problem
Kernel 2.6.16 don't have problem
Kernel 2.6.18 have this problem
So, it's not real that only newer Kernel have this "bug", because one
intermediate version don't show this problem.
Why this intermediate Kernel don't have problem?
Best regards

What problem, parking the heads is not a problem
Comment 5 Renato S. Yamane 2006-08-17 08:49:23 UTC 
However I am worried with this "boink", because this sound appear only in
"original" Kernel (not Vendor Kernel).
In MS Windows I don't have this strange sound, but if you say that is no
problem, I understand you.
Thank you so much!

On the second though I should have marked it is a duplicate not reopen it.
Fixed, sorry for the noise.
