I'm seeing the same issue with the latest kernal (2.6.32-24) on a Lenovo T61p with Lucid. Running 'sudo ifconfig eth0 down' does seem to solve the problem with the CPU spikes, although my ethernet lights remain active which is odd.
I'm not convinced this is truly a hardware issue, but if I have time later all attempt the battery removal and see what happens. -- events/0 spikes CPU every 3 seconds since upgrade to 2.6.31-20 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537396 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
