Floppy ticking stop when I kill hald and continue when I start hald.

I killed hald, closed drive bays, compiled and run that program. Both
drives will open their disk bay, first /dev/hdc and then /dev/hdd and
floppy drive starts ticking. All drives are empty.
Some info about drives:
$ dmesg | egrep 'hd(c|d)'
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb408-0xb40f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hdc: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8100, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: JLMS XJ-HD165H, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 1024kB Cache, DMA
hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)
