I have a very similar problem with my thinkpad R40e. Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic and 2.6.20-15-386 are both running very slow. On booting the system seems to hang on ACPI and hald. However the whole system is running very slow, even to the point where typing is difficult.
I get a similar result if I try and access the acpi info: $ time cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 0 mW remaining capacity: 32980 mWh present voltage: 12632 mV real 0m8.008s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.000s I can provide any logs etc that may help diagnose this. -- Extremely slow ACPI on Thinkpad R51e https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107826 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
