Subject: IDE disk making audible clicking with kernels 2.0.31 - 2.0.34
>When I boot my machine with SMP kernels 2.0.31 through 2.0.34,
>one of my two IDE disks makes a loud click about once a second.
>The timing seems perfectly regular. System operation seems
>unaffected -- I can boot up just fine, get into X, run compiles,
>etc. I haven't tried running the system very long in this mode,
>because the clicking frightens me.
>
>The clicking does not happen with SMP kernel 2.0.30.
>
>What can I check to determine the cause of the clicking? Has
>anyone heard of this problem before?
>
>One potential clue: the CDROM appears to be detected twice by
>the BIOS on startup.

>Thanks.
