(Get the code!)
I booted to runlevel 3, and devkit was still polling the drive (something else must be starting devkit).
So I booted to runlevel 1, and confirmed that nothing was polling the drive. However, I still could not spin it down. Every time it went to spin down, I heard it spin up again (confirmed with 'hdparm -C'). Even manually (hdparm -y), the drive immediately spun back up.
I booted a F10 liveCD, and the drive spins down no problem. At this point, it appears that the F11 kernel is preventing the drive from spinning down, so devkit polling it while it's active is not a surprise. I'll open a separate bug for the kernel.
