But what I read from the comments you guys are still able to log in 
and use the console? For me it looked always as if the system would be 
dead. But maybe I have to try again.

Would we have a chance to disable console sleep recompiling the kernel 
(like Till tried?). Should we ask some PM experts for this, e.g. Kevin?

Thanks
