So in opensuse this behavior is possibly controlled by the pm-utils framework (http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils). I found only one file with hard disk related settings (/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-tools/. I'll attach it, but there is nothing to do with hdparm settings. Maybe opensuse the same way as fedora doesn't change BIOS defaults. Kernel version: 2.6.22.9-0.4-default, in Fedora it was something around 2.6.23, possibly 2.6.23.1-31.fc8 (I haven't use fedora anymore)
