I am just googling around and finding information about keventd. Until now I have found this piece of information: <fromgoogle http://www.scs.ch/~frey/linux/kernelthreads.html> depending on the context of the creator of the threads the new threads may inherit properties from the parent you do not want to have. The new version avoids this by having keventd create the threads. The 2.2. kernel do not have a keventd, so this approach is not implementable there </fromggogle> That's the reason why I don't have problem with 2.4.19 and have always had with the 2.4.2 series. Now I have to find out what might be causing keventd to overload my processor the way is doing it. With regard to damaging the /boot partition I didn't gather any additional information. I just reinstalled 9.0.
