Same problem here on Thinkpad X61s, Ubuntu 10.04, 32 bit. I had recently done the following:
- upgraded from 2gb to 4gb ram - changed to the pae kernel version to support the 4gb of ram - worked happily on my computer with the new kernel with 4gb of available ram - suspended my computer - used the hardware wifi switch to disable wifi upon resuming from suspension The cpu spikes (with delayed keyboard and mouse reactivity) happened after the last 2 steps mentioned, not after the first 3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537396 Title: events/0 spikes CPU every 3 seconds since upgrade to 2.6.31-20 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
