hdparm init script assumes /dev/ide/ exists if udev is used. I use udev without
devfs compatible devices (/dev/hda instead of /dev/ide/...).

Reproducible: Always

I think there is a bug in the fix. 
 
I use udev-068 and it seems to no longer create /dev/ide entries, though I am 
not sure why, but I have a CDROM, /dev/hde, but the code in the script that 
checks to see if the device is a block-device and is open for reading fails for  
a valid cdrom, unless there is media in the cdrom. If i put a cd in the drive 
the /etc/init.d/hdparm script works.
