Binary package hint: plymouth
On shutting down Lucid (Final release candidate) on my Acer Aspire One, it seems to exit rather abruptly, and the hard drive gives a 'popping' sound, as if the machine had just been turned off without properly shutting down. I'm a little concerned about what this might eventually do to the hard drive.

While I realise that Plymouth gets blamed for everything around here, a failure to power down a hardware device on shutdown is a kernel issue ;-)
