sounds very familiar. I had a problem with my smp boxen doing the same
thing. (espeically with that kernel). I think it had to do with a problem
with cached.c but don't hold me to that. trudge through a ps aux and look
for a process running in state 'D'. that will be the cause of the
phantom load. A kernel upgrade should fix it though as it seems to have on
my box.
