See Documentation/devices.txt.
block-major-8 is SCSI. block-major-22 is second IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface. block-major-33 is third IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface. block-major-34 is fourth IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface.
Your system is checking the SCSI and all the IDE interfaces. You probably have some userspace code that is scanning for disks all the time. Add
alias block-major-8 off alias block-major-22 off alias block-major-33 off alias block-major-34 off
to /etc/modules.conf (or conf.modules if you still use the old name).
