In the past, hdparm used to install stop links on rc0 and rc6. Since
the stop action is a no op, they have been removed. Perhaps you just
have the symlinks still around? They can be removed without harming
anything.

Yes, I do have these links. They are quite recent, 2008-08-03.

Removed them and the insserv warning is gone.

If they are not used anymore, maybe hdparm should actively remove them?

I'm preparing an upload that does this now.

Thanks for the report,
