I use Jaunty, but I installed kernel and hdparm package from Karmic and I still have the problem. Actually, I have 2 disks (let's A, the system one, and B the unmounted one). When I do "hdparm -Y" on A, A spins down (but power on just after since it's the system disk): this behaviour is OK. But, when I do "hdparm -Y" on B: the disk doesn't spin down at all. This behaviour is not ok.I also noticed that exactly one every other time I do hdparm, this append to the kern.log: Oct 3 09:29:28 clairmont kernel: [ 674.563643] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 Oct 3 09:29:28 clairmont kernel: [ 674.563654] ata1.00: waking up from sleep Oct 3 09:29:28 clairmont kernel: [ 674.563667] ata1: hard resetting link Oct 3 09:29:28 clairmont kernel: [ 675.090046] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) Oct 3 09:29:28 clairmont kernel: [ 675.102961] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 Oct 3 09:29:28 clairmont kernel: [ 675.103006] ata1: EH complete
It changes anything if I swapped the SATA cables, if I select AHCI or IDE in bios. I think the problem is with the HDD, not with the motherboard.
