Actually it only happens when using the live cd. I remember when I installed 9.10 happening the same. It only happens when I install kubuntu using the harddisk method described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux, and when the SATA cdrom unit is connected, although there's no cd/dvd on it. If I disconnect the CD/DVD unit, the ksoftirqd process comes to normal.
Since it happens when booting from the live cd, I can't tryout with other kernel, since this would require installing or rebooting. Once kubuntu is installed, the problem disappears. -- ksoftirqd/1 using 50% CPU or above https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
