I have noticed that during this hick-ups, "htop" shows at least one (in most cases both) fully loaded (100%), even though that the top process on the list occupies cca 10%. htop also presents that CPU load as red, so I suspect this is CPU time used in kernel. I suspect kernel is spinning on something in this case.
I use amd64 kernel on HP nw8440 laptop with Seagate 7200 RPM disk (ST980825AS) ** Attachment added: "lspci --vvnn with 2.6.24 kernel" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12618531/lspci-vvnn.txt -- Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running and optical drive is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
