You can make HAL refuse to mention fixed disks to anyone by adding the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-no-fixed-drives.fdi with the following xml contents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> This is apparently a standard file in the upstream hal sources, but fedora 8 decided for whatever reason to remove it.
I suggest a bug report; it's far easier to discover how to change the behaviour if this file is present than if it's not.
