    Hi all,

    I've been getting frequent lockups with 2.6.6 whenever the machine is left for
    any period of time. These are hard lockups where I can't even use SysRq to
    reboot.

    After poking around a bit I've isolated this to APM Console Blanking. With
    console blanking enabled I get a lockup as soon as the console is blanked.
    With it disabled everything works fine.

    But surely if this was a common bug with APM console blanking someone else
    would have spotted it before now? Is anybody else having problems/using it
    successfully?

    I've attached my .config and dmesg.

    Cheers,
    David.

    p.s. On a completely unrelated note, I'm getting some strange filesystem
    mounting errors which you can see in the dmesg. It seems to be guessing
    (incorrectly) what the FS is and generally making a mess before it mounts it
    properly. This isn't a kernel issue, but if anyone has any ideas what's
    causing this I'd be very greatful. I have the same errors with the
    Debian-supplied 2.4 kernel as well.
