*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 30557 *** Setting the max_cstate to 1 makes the system usable.
I just upgraded to 1.27 (May 24 2006) and 1.06 (Jun 6 2006), and set the max_cstate back to default (8). That seems to have made the2.6.12-25 kernel MUCH better. I can't tell if it's totally cured, but it definately is usable. I'll have to use my laptop more tonight and make sure it's totally fixed with the firemware upgrade -- Thinkpad T43 2.6.15-23/25, system slow to use due to CPU spikes https://launchpad.net/bugs/50024 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
