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?


OK - so much for that idea - this morning as soon as I touched the keyboard it started a long single continuous tone and never stopped.
Won't shutdown either.  The hunt continues....
