Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
I'm not 100% sure this isn't some kind of hardware bug but I didn't notice it
until I started testing Feisty.
I'm running an Athlon 1.4Ghz processor w/ 1 gig of RAM I'm not sure of the
Motherboard I can look it up when I turn off the computer if that will help.
Gnome-Power-Manager and hald are consuming massive amounts of cycles and my CPU
usage is at 99% all of the time.
Gnome Power Manager is using 109 Megs of RAM.
Something is wrong with this, if I kill hald and gnome-power-manager, it
goes to about 89% CPU usage in the system monitor even with an idle and
udevd pops up to the top of top but only claims about 8%
Here is a cut and paste of the top command
