Mysterious hang in 2.0.0 - possibly Triton II?

Hi,
My new machine (P133, Abit Triton II (430HX) m/b, 16Megs EDO RAM,
S3 Trio64V+ graphics, Quantum Sirocco 1.7Gb HD, CD-56E TEAC CDRom,
EZ-2000+ (sic) NE2000 compatible ethernet card) sometimes hangs after
I've left it inactive for a while (= more than 5 hours - I leave it on
overnight).
The console has blanked, and doesn't reappear if I hit a
key. The hard disk light is on. Nothing responds. It's big red switch
time.
There are no kernel logs of any activity around the crash (the
cron/atrun log tells me when it has gone).

Could this be a problem with the Triton II chipset? Could it be a
problem with the APM BIOS? 1.3.100 doesn't seem to do it, though I have
to do much longer-term testing of this! It also happened once with 1.99.7
with my new Triton II patches. It seems to happen both with and without
DMA enabled, though I have to confirm this.
Relevant bits of .config:

# Floppy, IDE, and other block devices
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PCMCIA is not set

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRITON=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000 is not set
# CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=m
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XD is not set

[...]
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 is not set
CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF=y
# CONFIG_WATCHDOG is not set
CONFIG_RTC=y

Any ideas, anyone?
