Hi! |

Both on my desktop and my laptop I had a problem with |
| 4 |
hdparm. The system seemed to hang when starting hdparm. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Because I didn't know how to debug startup (rc) scripts, I |
| 7 |
decided to replace the original /etc/init.d/hdparm with a simple |
| 8 |
hdparm script to act only on my disks. On the desktop the problem |
| 9 |
went a way and everything works pretty fine. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
On the laptop a problem occurs from time to time. I can't tell when |
| 12 |
and under which circunstancies that happens but the symptoms are |
| 13 |
always the same. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
After the message "starting hdparm ..." the computer stops (hangs). |
| 16 |
After beeing off for some moments (+-15s), the disk activity led blinks |
| 17 |
one time, then it turns on and stays there forever. Only a power off |
| 18 |
unlocks the system. After rebooting the file /etc/modules.conf is |
| 19 |
always corrupted. "modules-update force" resolve the problem. |
| 20 |
|

Any ideas about what can be causing this? |
