I can't boot the 2.6.19 kernel on my machine. But after it freezes or drops into busybox, my drive also makes a loud noise. I actually thought it was one of my optical drives at first, but neither have a disc loaded.
The idea of that sound coming from a HDD is a little frightening. -- hard drive cries out in pain at power-off https://launchpad.net/bugs/72765 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
