Is this something that just started happening?  I've noticed on some
motherboards the ide drivers don't quite initialize the LED right and
it's always on, with or without hd activity.  If it used to work right
and you haven't recently upgraded the kernel or any other major system
change (hw and sw) then ignore my comment.
