The title may not make immediately sense, but this is what I have observed.
I switched to CONFIG_ATA_SFF instead of the deprecated CONFIG_IDE. Up until that point I had passed -M 128 to hdparm once and my drive retained the settings between reboots and kept quiet. With the new kernel I noticed that KDE-4.4.4 switches it back to -M 254 and becomes noisy as KDE kicks in (when the system settings symbol comes up during login). I tried adding hdparm in the default runlevel and also added: sda_arg="-M 128" in /etc/conf.d/hdparm but it doesn't seem to work. KDE resets it to full pelt. Is there a fix to this? -- Regards, Mick
