Hi, I confirm this bug. Upgrading from 2.6.25-2 to 2.6.26-1 caused kacpi and kacpi_notify processes to use more tha 75% of my CPU. My laptop is a Dell Precision M70.
On my config they are interuptible but kill -9 has not effect on them. $ ps aux|grep kacpi root 41 0.4 0.0 0 0 ? S< Oct01 5:16 [kacpid] root 42 0.9 0.0 0 0 ? R< Oct01 11:41 [kacpi_notify] $ top ... PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 42 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 54.3 0.0 12:17.65 kacpi_notify 41 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 24.6 0.0 5:33.28 kacpid I found a report for a similar problem in Kernel bugtracker, but it concerned previous versions of the kernel and was rejected : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8274 I have to downgrade to 2.6.25-2 as acpi is important for me. -- Nicolas Duboc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
