This sounds suspiciously like problems others have reported earlier,
having to do with disk geometry translation being lost in APM power
transitions.

Do you have any problems if you put the CPU into standby mode (that mode
is not as deep a "sleep" as suspend, and should not depower or screw up
any device configs)?

The fix is probably to put APM suspend/resume hooks into the device
drivers for things like disk & pcmcia.
