Hi,
I recently upgraded a ThinkPad R40e from etch to lenny, and everything
seemed to be alright, but after rebooting the system I immediately
noticed the following:
a) the mouse arrow sometimes stopped for a while when I was moving it
b) keeping pressed any key on the keyboard, the output has the same
behaviour as the mouse: it stops for a while.
c) approximately, this happens every 30 or 50 seconds, and lasts about
10 seconds; every single stop lasts just half a second, maybe even less.
I decided to take a look at the CPU usage and I noticed it was going up
and down approximately with the same periodic trend.
I also noticed that the boot process is extremely slower than before:
expecially hald takes about two minutes to start, while with etch it
took no more than 20 seconds.
So I decided to stop hald... and voilà, all the above problems disappear!
I guess hald is needed by the system to work properly, but why does it
cause such problems, now?
Best regards.
