Did you try not to start hdparm on boot?

here's my hdparm if that helps

~ s hdparm /dev/dvd

/dev/dvd:
IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
using_dma    =  1 (on)
keepsettings =  0 (off)
readonly     =  0 (off)
readahead    = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
