[gentoo-user] kacpid eating alot of cpu
Hi. My laptop is in great need of cpu frequency scaling and sleep (it overheats in 10 minutes of compiling otherwise and sounds like a train when I'm sleeping), and as it seems on every how to I have found; acpi is the way it suppose to be. However acpi isn't so nice, since this is what happens (top) 85:08.20 firefox 22:31.57 X 309:53.76 kacpid after three days of use (notice the 309h of cpu-time). And in powertop, 15.7% ( inf) interrupt : acpi acpi takes quite alot of power. And for some reason, sometimes kacpid takes ~80% for many minutes at a time and if I run powertop during that period acpi is responsible for ~90%. I thought that acpi was suppose to help with power waste and stuff like that. On a forum I read that HAL is the thing one should use and acpi is going obsolete. However, that doesn't help so much since it seems as HAL depends on a lot of acpi options in the kernel, which are the ones wasting the cpu and power. So my questions are: Is acpi suppose to act like this? Can I fix it? If not, whats the proper way to migrate to HAL? Does HAL have cpufreq-tools? Any help appreciated. /Blå -- For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted.

Had it figured out by putting strace to initrd and running strace cryptsetup luksOpen ... instead of just cryptsetup - gave me something like open('/dev/sdaX', ...) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address), so I had to double-check and found the mistake to be that trivial. This was actually one of the first things I checked. Just forgot to mention it. I solved it by adding a 'ls -l /dev' in the init, and there I found out that /dev/sda1 was named /dev/hda1.

The symptoms are pretty much the same as those described by Johan. However, in my case the Touchpad worked fine (for example, sliding the finger on the far-right side correctly translated into scrolling). It was (more or less) after I used a couple of times my Logitech USB Mouse that the Touchpad defaulted to basic mouse functionality (two buttons and mouse pointer movement). At that time I was convinced it was a coldplugging problem. When I found some more free time, and after having survived an emerge world, I switched to a (completely) dynamic udev. Still, this did not solve the problem. Then I was blocked. Following the Wiki Howtos for configuring the Touchpad did not help much, either. How do you think that I could verify that this is a coldplug/udev problem? Could this be the problem, at all? What information that would help you help me pin-point the problem could I post? I know nothing about this (udev), so any outside input to this discussion would be good.
