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 |
| 4 |
that point I had passed -M 128 to hdparm once and my drive retained the |
| 5 |
settings between reboots and kept quiet. |

With the new kernel I noticed that KDE-4.4.4 switches it back to -M 254 and |
| 8 |
becomes noisy as KDE kicks in (when the system settings symbol comes up during |
| 9 |
login). |

I tried adding hdparm in the default runlevel and also added: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
sda_arg="-M 128" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
in /etc/conf.d/hdparm but it doesn't seem to work. KDE resets it to full |
| 16 |
pelt. |

Is there a fix to this? |
