HI,

I also saw this Heavy Disk acitivity without any application being run but
in my case it usually stopped after five minutes or so. never had this
problem with kernel2.0.36 on RedHat5.2. But when i installed SuSE6.1 with
kernel2.2.5 i saw this problem. even now if i revert to 2.0.36 tyhe
problem vanishes.
My m/c configuration is i440BX MBD, 128MB ram, Cel 333.
Regards
Gurjeet
