Hard Drive LED is constantly lit

OK, this may sound like a stupid question, but this really happens. The first logical thing to check is that it is connected properly (which it is). I worked with 2.4.18 kernel. But since I upgraded to 2.4.19, it does this. I am not sure if it is a conincidence or something else.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Thanks!

Have you checked for any hdd activity? Fire up gkrellm to check if anything is in use?

The problem is usually located with CDRW with a combo of HDD/DVD-ROM/CDROM. I use to get this some years ago and it was down to the CDRW problem. (Nothing physically serious, just the hdd led always seems to be on).

I can't think of anything else for the time being.
