[ltp] Noisy harddisk shutdown

Hi,

when turning my notebook (A30p, kernel is 2.6.7, APM, HD is Hitachi/IBM 
HTS548060M9AT00) the harddrive quite often gives a terrible noise 
(djjjj-CLACK!) just microseconds before screen goes blank and power is 
off. It really does not sound healthy. Anyhow, drive is absolutely new and 
does not show any problems elsewhere. Also sound never appears when using 
suspend-to-disk. So I guess there must be ways to avoid this (power 
management settings, sending hd to sleep before power off, etc.)
Any ideas?

Thanks for help
Jan
