Bug Description
Just as the power goes off, a bad sound comes from my Compaq Presario 700 laptop, as if the hard drive (Samsung MP0804H) is pulling the emergency brakes on. This came with 2.6.19.
I have something similar on an Acer TravelMate 8100, but here it came with 2.6.17.

I'd be more willing to believe that this is a hardware issue, not one of the kernel. The kernel merely sends a generic "stop" command to drives. It doesn't tell it how to stop. Whatever the hardware does after that is its own doing.
I'll see if I can find some similar reports to back this up.
