Hard disk parking has been an issue on my laptops (IBM T20 & T21) since
at least 7.04 Beta. It appears to be the result of a lack of
"open"-ness on APM standards, and succeeding arguments between
manufacturers, programmers, and developers. Some argue that it may be
shenanigans orchestrated in Red
I followed Pneuma comments from January 20, 2008, and viola - the hard
drive clicking stopped, and has not returned. The only thing I did
different was that I used the latest laptop-tools.
I have a T-21 IBM, running clean install of Ubuntu 7.1 with all of the
latest updates to date. Absolutely
