S4BIOS is a sort of compatibility thing when the OS is unable to provide a way to suspend-to-disk (and require a suspend partition or sometimes a FAT95 partition as the first primary which I think is the case for you). S4OS is when the OS is able to suspend-to-disk with minimal help from the BIOS. With S4OS, you just have to design how you save memory to disk since thats no more provided by the BIOS.
