Ah, If you want to reject the standby request from BIOS while the
system is active, then apmd would be useful. You can configure it like
this:
in /etc/apmd.conf:
apm_event PMEV_STANDBYREQ {
reject;
}
or
apm_event PMEV_STANDBYREQ {
exec "/etc/rc.standby_with_system_activity";
}
with /etc/rc.standby_with_system_activity:
#!/bin/sh
if [ some_script_to_check_system_is_active ]
then
# apmd will reject the event...
exit 1

I tried these steps many times, but I couldn't see the problem.
I guess your disks are still in a SLEEP after a resume or
I/O interrupts were lost during suspend/resume or something.
Anyone suggestions?

If your problem is related with disks, have you tried wd device driver
instead of ata?
