Nothing is eating your CPU at this stage, only your memory (note the CPU states both <1%, which means no user space apps are eating CPU, but since they are only 01& idle, it must be the kernel keeping them busy, probably spending all it's time swapping. > And before anyone asks, It is a FRESH install. [snip] You could have saved us 81k of logs, if you had sorted your top by memory usage (shift-M), since you know that memory us the problem, and you would have seen these at the top: 2559 apache 9 0 243M 139M 1052 S 0,0 27,6 0:34 httpd 2560 apache 9 0 297M 169M 4 S 0,0 33,7 0:30 httpd Can you please keep this off cooker unless you have confirmed that it is a bug, and not some misconfiguration. Your previous install doesn't mention apache, so do you need it? Have you done configuration? Have you checked your apache logs? Have you checked syslog?
