Re: HDD LED doesn't light.

This seems to be a hardware problem, as I have similar hardware (Asus A7N8x-e deluxe) and the HDD Led also stays off.
BTW, I'm using MS-Windows(R).

Tell me something, you'r using SATA, right?

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
