Public bug reported: I have an Averatec 2460 with Intel Core Duo T2300, Intel 945GM chipset. When powernowd is running on an 2.6.15-26-686 kernel both CPUs have a constant load of around 50%, the fan is always on. The system sometimes lags a little. Top or gnome-system-monitor don't show any processes consuming so much CPU time. When I stop powernowd and powernowd.early then CPU load drops to around 5-8% on both CPUs which still is somewhat high but much better.
** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Intel Core Duo 50% load with powernowd running https://launchpad.net/bugs/59627 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
