Okay, I tried blacklisting libata and then running the command > update-initramfs -u
But when I rebooted the OS, I didn't see any changes. IIRC, using the old IDE driver should make my partitions be recognized by "hdx" rather than "sdx", right? Anyhow, I still see my partitions as "sda" and I still hear the noise when shutting down. Any other ways to disable libata without recompiling the kernel? -- bad hard disk noise on shutdown https://launchpad.net/bugs/67810 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
