I just experienced the exact same bug that joyrider had (see higher or click the link). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/150515/comments/6
My ksoftirqd/0 was using ~20% of my CPU. Found this page via google, unloaded the cx88 modules (that i'm using for my TV Card), and ksoftirqd is now back to normal, using.. ~0.0% CPU. ;) I'm under Ubuntu 7.10 Pentium 3 866 TV Card: Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP Expert Haven't touched the grub config since my ubuntu install so the "nohz" option is at the default, whatever the default is. -- et131x causing ksoftirqd to eat up cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
