I have *way* less of my issues after cleaning up all the hdparm calls during boot. The mishmash of acpi-support, gnome-power-manager, devicekit, laptop-mode-tools, pm-utils etc bombards the hard drive with hdparm calls. I have filed some bug and patches for some of these packages (bug 437796, bug 438355). Especially consistent treatment of the "nohdparm" boot option would be nice (bug 443992).

Mikael, you can try:
 sudo mv /sbin/hdparm /sbin/hdparm.orig
 sudo cp /bin/true /sbin/hdparm
After testing this, you can revert it with:
 sudo mv /sbin/hdparm.orig /sbin/hdparm
