Comment 19 for bug 67810

Hi All,

I just tested opensuse 10.2 with kernel-default-2.6.18.2-34.i586.rpm on my laptop and it does a very nice shutdown without any strange hard disk noise.

So I don't think it's a linux kernel problem, but a (k)ubuntu problem.

What could cause this? Maybe the new shutdown methode "teardown"?
Kubuntu 6.06 LTS => ok => doesn't use teardown
Kubuntu 6.10 => not ok => uses teardown
Kubuntu 7.04 beta => not ok => uses teardown
Opensuse 10.2 => ok => doesn't use teardown.

So maybe it is teardown????
Bye More
