I had the same problem. I am using Edgy Eft. I got really annoyed because my disk was constantly filling up with these log messages, and having hald use 50% of my CPU all the time isn't too cool either. I don't think I was even able to log into KDE with a full disk. It's a good thing I'm a degree-bearing computer scientist and not my grandmother, or I would have had to seek professional help.
Thanks, original reporter, for this number: i82365. It was a PCMCIA driver. Since my desktop doesn't have any PCMCIA slots, it was safe to find i82356 and remove it here: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/modules/2.6.19.2-dwh/kernel/drivers# ls pcmcia/ i82092.ko i82365.ko pcmcia_core.ko pcmcia.ko pd6729.ko rsrc_nonstatic.ko tcic.ko yenta_socket.ko rm -rf pcmcia/ The log messages stopped immediately. To fix it for your machine: cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers rm -rf pcmcia I will be sure not to compile PCMCIA support into my next kernel. -- [feisty] hald adds/removes same device many times a second causing high loads and extremally slow performance https://launchpad.net/bugs/81915 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
