yeah, thanks.. I found some obscure settings in the IBM bios that was causing the prob.. it had reset defaults on me, and turned the apm stuff back on..
 
strangely enough (or not) when it had gone into its power saving, scripts and anything else that usually took practically no CPU were showing as 60% +
which means it must have cycled down the CPU somehow so that 60% was what would normally be one or two percent...
 
I'm going to try and remember that for future reference..

use chkconfig to keep /etc/init.d/apmd from running at boot up.  Turn off all your power management in the BIOS too.

Hi guys,

I think I have isolated the problem when I updated the kernel in 8.2...

I'm having the same prob in mdk9.0

it seems that after a certain period of time, linux is going into some type
of power management feature..

it gets slow, but if you go over and hit the keyboard it comes back..

I am guessing I have to disable some apm feature.. after all, a server
shouldnt' be doing that..

anyone have any tips for where to start???
