Computer won't resume from S3

Hi All

	First post - pretty new to Debian,  less so to linux in general.

I have a PC here (mainboard IBM 819966U) running Etch that seems to hang after sitting idle for a long period of time. It didn't have this problem previously when using Mandrake 10.1 although I have changed some of the hardware since then. It _seems like_ the hard drives are the issue - they don't spin back up and any attempt at logging in at the console times out.

It looks like the problem goes away if I change the suspend type to S1 instead of S3 in the BIOS, although I thought Linux overrode the BIOS when using ACPI?

ACPI seems like a real can of worms right now - is there a good way to track down what the issue is? and if I find it will I be able to fix anything?

Suggestions appreciated,

Brian
