Some bioses hang if a kernel does that unfortunately. You can disable only this apm feature by using apm=idle_threshold=100 as grub option instead of apm=off. If this is the case, please file a bug in bugzilla with the output of the "dmidecode" program (part of kernel-utils rpm) attached. Also for several Intel bioses it's worth checking for an updated bios.
