comment all lines refering to hdparm in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit :
# Optimisation of Hard drive.
#if [ -x /sbin/hdparm ];then
#LIST_HD=$(grep '^hd.*' /var/log/dmesg|\
# grep -ivE '(CD.*ROM|FLOPPY)'|cut -d: -f1|sort|uniq)
# for i in $LIST_HD;do
# action "Starting Hard Drive optimisations for $i" \
# hdparm -q -c1 -q -A1 -q -m16 -q -d1 /dev/$i
# done
#fi
