Hello, I use 2.6.24 on my T2300 dualcore laptop, with kubuntu hardy (without opera), and also 2.6.24 on a PIII-3GHz with debian unstable. Note that I do see Rescheduling Interrupts as well on my debian, but less often and less intensive. Isn't this a pointer to that it's however a kernel issue?

Hi Yves, The rescheduling interrupts information was added into the kernel in the main kernel in July 2007 ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/30/437 ) and I believe it was not in the Gutsy kernel tree - so this activity was not visible in user space and hence PowerTop would not be able to report it
