Are you sure it's hal that's doing this? It polls the cdrom's status on a regular basis, but they shouldn't open when doing this. Also hal doesn't access the floppy drive, so it's kinda weird that it would cause floppydrive ticks.. Are you sure you don't have magicdev installed, which does actually poll the floppy drive iirc ?
