Possibly. I'll comb through the BIOS and check (I thought that I had disabled all such things at one point). I should note that the errors appeared during or immediately after a period of pretty high disk activity. In particular, I was building the ARM libraries so as to build a Bitsy kernel. mk had just exited when the first error messages popped up, and the second set was during disk/kfscmd check. Hmm, listening very carefully now, it sounds as if the disk *has* spun down (I booted off of the network and copied all my local data to the file server as soon as I started got the first). However, after booting once more and running disk/kfscmd check again, I see the ``wrenread ...'' errors again. :-( - Dan C.
