We recently had a bad storm. After numerous bad power spikes and outages, my hard drive light never goes out. It does not blink, flicker, etc. and there is no sound of hd access. My machine was on -- the storm kinda suprised us. It is an IDE maxtor 1.3 gb drive that has been working fine. There does not appear to be a problem with drive access, fsck reports fine on boot. The light worries me because it never did that. It is running on the on-board controller. Debian 1.3.1 and a 2.0.29 kernel.
P.S. I can boot into my other drive (with windows) fine and the light behaves once windows finishes booting --> the light is continuous until then. The power comes on, so does the light. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
