I think this is like the 3rd time you have asked this. I'm sorry about that.
I think kupdate is a kernel thread that looks after flushing the filesystem
buffers. Could it be that you have a hard drive full or IDE conflict or
something? I don't know too much more about kupdate and from the looks of it
i seems that running at 99% cpu is bad. Perhaps you have a bad kernel compile
or something? Have you played with your kernel?
HTH,
Dave
