This happens generally at power-off, not only at hibernation. I can
reproduce it by booting with init=/bin/bash and running "poweroff -f". I
am only changing the kernel. With 2.6.17 it turns quietly off every
time, with 2.6.19 it makes the ugly sound almost every time.
** Summary changed:

I also thought it was just hardware, when I saw this on the Acer laptop.
But now this started on the Compaq, where I have never seen it before.
What if the kernel doesn't send any "stop" and the laptop is just
powered off?
