sorry to hear kacpid is still giving you trouble. My case went away after I installed a high end sound card. Not sure why but it did.
Some of the comments I got from the guru's at Ubuntu, was to try liveCD of the last version of Ubuntu. It did not help in my case. Have you tried modifing the kernel parameters related to ACPI at boot time? I tried the following ones with results indicacted: ACPI=OFF solves the problem of CPU Time (of course as theirs no ACPI running). ACPI=HT works as well, though I loose "dual processor" feature. -Nate On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 5:12 AM, bernard <[email protected]>wrote: > CRAP !!! ...pwernowd -> didn't work :( > > -- > Jaunty: kacpid running at 70% of CPU Time on Pentium 4 > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496937 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs > > Hi - > > Having a problem on my Pentium 4 box with Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty).
