I think I have a regression with hdparm-6.3 on x86.
Last week, 2 boots have failed (for 6 boots during the week).

The freeze seems to occur during the /etc/init.d/hdparm execution. I made a Ctl+Alt+Pr.Scr+U and Ctl+Alt+Pr.Scr+B to reboot but the Linux kernel doesn't more start : it freezes during the hda harddisk initialization (but BIOS execution is ok). So, I need to poweroff the PC.

My hda description :

hda: WDC WD400BB-53CAA0, ATA DISK drive
hda: max request size: 128KiB
hda: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100)
hda: cache flushes not supported
 hda: hda1 hda3 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 >

For 2 days, I use the previous version sys-apps/hdparm-5.9 and for the moment, the problem has disappeared.

/etc/conf.d/hdparm :
# /etc/conf.d/hdparm: config file for /etc/init.d/hdparm

# You can either set hdparm arguments for each drive using hdX_args,
# discX_args, cdromX_args and genericX_args, e.g.
#
# hda_args="-d1 -X66"
# disc1_args="-d1"
# cdrom0_args="-d1"

# or, you can set hdparm options for ALL drives using all_args, e.g.
#
all_args="-d1"
