Hello, 

I'm running Potato with kernel 2.2.17 compiled with apm support on an
Intel PIII with an Intel D815EEA motherboard with apm enabled at BIOS. When the 
computer is busy -- for example downloading a file from the web everything's 
fine, console blanks after a few minutes, and I get control back when I press a 
key at the keyboard.
If, however, the computer is completely idle for the same period of time, 
either the console or the entire computer hangs (I can't tell the difference 
since the system won't respond to neither the keyboard nor the mouse), and I 
have to use the one finger kick to get back to work - which of course takes a 
while since fsck needs to finish it's thing.
Any ideas as to what could be the problem and what I can do to solve it is 
wholeheartedly welcome.

TIA
