Don't know. apmd (as I know) is able to suspend and standby the
computer, but I don't notice any difference between both options.

Correction: it randomly hangs. I remember that the last time I tried
this it "worked". I listened my computer beeping three times, but it
only closed the screen...

CONFIG_APM=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_SUSPEND_BOUNCE=y
CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

I'm running on an Asus P2L97 AGP motherboard, with PII processor.

I think I did: hdparm -Y /dev/hdb
and I listened how the drive went down. But another time: I was unable
to wake it up again.

Don't know... I still use 2.2.16.
