The Linux hdparm command has a -U option or unregister an ATA device  
and a -R option to register one. The problem is this: it also needs  
to have a /dev/hda device if you are, for example, trying to register  
or unregister device /dev/hda. But if you are using devfs, /dev/hda  
disappears when it is unregistered and it's not there to register.

I thought devfs was deprecated...

Have you taken a look in /sys for a device file?

Good luck,
tim
