I have Suse 9.2 on a Dell SmartPC 250N laptop. It appears that something is written to/read from the hard drive every few seconds (2-5). When I boot in failsafe mode, i.e. without the X and KDE, no such disk activity is observed.
This doesn't apply to your situation but someone else might run into it. I had a blinking hard drive light because of a lose cable on one of my hard drives in the RAID 1 configuration, and it took a while to figure out what was causing it since the system was working perfectly fine. Plugging in the cable and returning the drive to active status in the RAID fixed that problem. At least, the RAID was working just fine. :) Christopher Reimer
