funny powersave kind of thing with Fedora

[Scott Garrison]

I'm running FC 1 on an old IBM Aptiva (AMD K6).  Runs great, including 
VNC now, etc.

I must've done something to cause the following problem, but can't seem 
to resolve it myself (have turned off apmd, doesn't fix it):

After 30 minutes of inactivity, my system goes into some kind of 
powersave mode.  The monitor goes into standby, and the CPU does a 
funny 'half shutdown' where the powerlight blinks on and off, the fans 
are still running, but the system is unresponsive at the console or 
remotely (e.g. via ssh).

When I press the power switch, it comes back to life--monitor comes 
back on, etc..  I'm taking this system to be hosted at Ohio State this 
weekend, so naturally, I need it not to go into this weird mode on me 
every 30 minutes (me sitting at my VNC and ssh client in Michigan).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have!
