    hello,

            i bought a brand new SONY VAIO PCG-FR285M laptop and i don't know why but
    when running linux on it it makes strange noises. when linux is loading
    that's ok but why after loading i do nothing and can hear very quiet
    clicking... i tried to find out if any process is using HDD and all
    processes are sleping. also when i move the mouse pointer on display it
    makes quiet "click" with evry pixel it goes trough. the loudest sound comes
    out when maximizing and minimazing windows :) it's funny but i don't think
    it should be that way... i have also copy of windows xp on it provided with
    laptop and there is no such problem when running windows.
            is it the problem with HDD driver? right now when i write it swap is not
    being used, there is still 267MB of ram memory free so it can't be swapping
    pages to hdd.

    more details:

            PIV 2.4GHz
            RAM 512 MB
            HDD 40GB
            Slackware 9.0
            kernel 2.4.20

    any ideas?

    regards,

            madmax
