Just installed the 2.6.36 mainline kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/.
VMWare Player is not working, but that's another story. [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick = 2.3 [extra timer interrupt] = 11.7 Total interrupts under idle conditions = 66.7 (earlier it was ~180). Ok, now we know the story, or at-least a part of it. We will all be a happy breed of people if the fixes are back ported to the latest stable release of Maverick from the Ubuntu repository. So if we do a 'sudo apt-get update && upgrade" we should get the patches applied and don't have to fiddle with unsupported releases of the core of the OS. I am keeping my fingers crossed. VMWare is not working as of now, PS/2 interrupts are still very high and might discover a thing or 2 later, but as of now, with the 2.6.36, the issue seems to be resolved. Will feel a lot more satisfied after the fixed version lands up through the official repo on a officially supported release (2.6.35 at the moment). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524281 Title: Tens of wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" on Core 2 Duo even with only 1 core enabled -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
