This is something I noticed creep in at 2.6.11. Blaisorblade suggested turning off the real time clock UML compile option. Want to try that and reply to the list with the results?

Hi

My loadav (using kernel 2.6.9 and above) in my guest kernels is always
at least 1.0... does anyone else get this?


yes, itÂs the same here. ksoftirqd is always runable.

and there is a 100% Load in "hardware interrupt" (hi). It seems not to
affect the performance and the load does not "reach" the host system.

 21:25:32 up 8 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.23, 0.20, 0.11

Haven't found a solution yet.

regards

Daniel
