HDD LED doesn't light.

[Ben Skeggs]

Hello,

No matter how much harddisk activity is occuring on my system, the 
harddisk LED stays off.  At first I thought I'd misconnected the lead, 
but under Windows the light is functional.

This occurs on both my SATA harddisk and my PATA harddisk.

SATA controller: Silicon Image sil3112
PATA controller: NForce2
Motherboard    : Abit NF7-S 2.0
CPU            : AthlonXP 3000+

The earliest kernel I've used with this hardware is 2.6.6, and the 
problem occurs right up to 2.6.8.1.

I'm completely clueless as I was under the impression that the hardware 
controlled the LED.

Could I please be CC'd any replies as I'm not subscribed to the list.

Regards,
Ben Skeggs
