mandrake_everytime gets called in rc.sysinit see
if [ -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime ];then
/bin/sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime
[glee@armidala rc.d]$
and mandrake_everytime calls hdparm see:
[glee@armidala init.d]$ cat mandrake_everytime | grep hdparm
if [ -x /sbin/hdparm ];then
if grep -i nohdparm /proc/cmdline >/dev/null ; then
hdparm -q -c1 -q -A1 -q -m16 -q -d1 /dev/$i
[glee@armidala init.d]$

yes, it's ok to launch in rc.sysinit, which is hwat should be done.
