It could be something to do with the default kernel and your hardware. You could try recompiling the kernel from the 2.4.18 source and checking the power management settings under the general settings tab. It's a lot of hassel I know, but its well worth compiling a kernel to suit your particular hardware and setup. If all goes well you should end up with a kernel that is smaller, faster, more stable and possibly even more secure. I've had problems like that in the past with some of the kernels and thats where I solved them.
