Hi:
Are there commands, similar to hdparm -I, to test your hard drive. I think mine is failing. Don't know though, I get squealing and rumbling noises from my box.
If your drive is SMART capable, you can use 'ide-smart /dev/hdx' to check it.
It's on the ap series of your SuSE distro. Do a 'man ide-smart' for more info.
HTH, regards...
