** Summary changed: - floppy causes high cpu iowait usage + [lucid] floppy causes high cpu iowait usage
** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-image I upgraded my ThinkPad X32 notebook to Lucid beta. The notebook does not have floppy drive, but the floppy kernel module causes very high cpu iowait usage for about 20 minutes after initial booting, while issuing the following error messages: [ 1123.553851] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 [ 1136.618649] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Manually removing(rmmod) and loading(modprobe) the floppy module later cannot reproduce the high cpu iowait usage. - High iowait usage is gone after blacklisting the floppy module. + The workaround is to blacklist the floppy module. -- [lucid] floppy causes high cpu iowait usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
