*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 30557 *** Setting the max_cstate to 1 makes the system usable. I just upgraded to 1.27 (May 24 2006) and 1.06 (Jun 6 2006), and set the max_cstate back to default (8). That seems to have made the2.6.12-25 kernel MUCH better. I can't tell if it's totally

Not sure where you got Embedded Controller Version. There's a couple of BIOS version numbers in kern.log PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfd8f7, last bus=7 and apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac) -- Thinkpad T43 2.6.15-23/25, system slow to use due to CPU spikes

Could the original reporter try booting with 'acpi=off'? That fixed it for me, though now I don't get my battery level anymore. -- Thinkpad T43 2.6.15-23/25, system slow to use due to CPU spikes https://launchpad.net/bugs/50024 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com

So for my own sanities sake let me give numbers to the symptoms Symptom #1: CPU spikes, which over time, evenutally turn into a continual stream of user and system time. Eventually the cpu will never spin down from MAX. Kernels present in: 2.6.15-23, 2.6.15-25 Kernels NOT present in: 2.6.12-9

Just to add another datapoint, I'm running -23 on my T43 and I have not noticed this behavior. I have the cpu frequency monitor up all the time and it's almost always at 800Mhz. Perhaps if we compare hardware details we can find the way to the culprit. I will add an attachment with my lspci and

Can confirm 2.6.15-25-686 being sluggish on my Sony VAIO VGN-FS295VP. Can't really remember how the breezy kernel was, used dapper throughout development. 2.6.15-23-686 is much faster for me. -- Thinkpad T43 2.6.15-23/25, system slow to use due to CPU spikes https://launchpad.net/bugs/50024 --
