Okay, I tried blacklisting libata and then running the command

But when I rebooted the OS, I didn't see any changes. IIRC, using the old IDE driver should make my partitions be recognized by "hdx" rather than "sdx", right? Anyhow, I still see my partitions as "sda" and I still hear the noise when shutting down.

Any other ways to disable libata without recompiling the kernel?
