Bug Description
Binary package hint: acpi-support
At boot the combination of acpi-support and pm-utils manages to run the same hdparm -B setting at least three times:
1. /etc/rc2.
2. /etc/rc2.
3. /usr/sbin/
Running hdparm can be disruptive to the disk throughput, and on my hardware these hdparm calls during the busy booting often causes disk controller hangs (which never happens in other situations).
