Can anyone explain what these entries actually do in FC5?

I added them to the kernel line for my Via SP130000 and...

myth stops playing about every 8 minutes, the screen freezes, the sound 
starts a short loop, like an jumping needle on a vinyl record, and 
weirdest of all, the power LED on my case starts flashing on and off.

I *think* that the system is now attempting to do some sort of suspend, 
as there has been no keyboard activity for the 8 minutes...

Hitting a key restarts things properly.
BTW acpid is off in services..

I would like to turn off all suspend settings. Anyone?
