There's an option for standby; maybe it also works with the hibernation
feature. In Device Manager, double click on your keyboard, click on "Power
Management," and uncheck "Allow this device to bring the computer out of
standby".

The setting would be in the BIOS>Power Menu, and usually under
the APM heading. Changing the keyboard power up setting won't
interfere with your ACPI setting. The wakeup from standby setting
in XP won't work, because in hibernation the PC is shut down. In
standby the PC is still powered on, but the drives and CPU are
stopped.

Are you confusing standby with hibernation?
