I'm affected by this bug. I recently upgraded my HP Mini 5103 laptop from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, and this problem appeared.
Similar to what ITec reports in comment #60, when using an older 3.0.0 kernel the problem is not there, but when booting into 3.2.0 it shows up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887793 Title: Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/887793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
