I had a machine that, even through apm support was turned off in bios, would seem to want to go to sleep every 20 or 40 minutes for just a second or two. As well as messages from the eth ports I'd also get the system timewarping back to match the hardware clock. Although setting the hardware clock to gmt made that last bit invisible. Disabling apm in the kernel made these things behave for me. I gather that earlier redhat kernels idn't have apm enabled by default, or it was built as a module or something.
