Interesting, I didn't know suspending to RAM used the hard disk at all.
Anyway, during the long period (say the middle 2 minutes) the 'disk access'
light is off. The fan blows heavily though, almost like it's doing intense
computations (but I can't imagine what).

Your remark is very interesing though, since I replaced my hard disk and the
BIOS doesn't seem to recognize it - forcing me to boot through grub4dos from
an SD-card. So since standby uses ACPI this may be a related issue.

Do you have any idea how to solve this? Is this a time-out from the ACPI to
find the disk? And if so, can I lower the timeout threshold?

Thanks for your reply!
