** Patch added: "irqbalance.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47256629/irqbalance.patch
** Description changed: Binary package hint: irqbalance [using 0.55+20091017-3ubuntu2 on lucid] irqbalance gets enabled unconditionally upon installation. The user's answer to the question whether it should be enabled (upon installation or dpkg-reconfigure) gets ignored: ,--- - | $ cat /etc/default/irqbalance + | $ cat /etc/default/irqbalance | #Configuration for the irqbalance daemon - | + | | #Should irqbalance be enabled? | ENABLED=1 | #Balance the IRQs only once? | ONESHOT="0" | $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -ftext irqbalance - | stop: Unknown instance: + | stop: Unknown instance: | Configuring irqbalance | ---------------------- - | - | Enable the irqbalance daemon to balance IRQs on SMP systems and systems with + | + | Enable the irqbalance daemon to balance IRQs on SMP systems and systems with | hyperthreading. - | + | | Would you like to enable irqbalance? n - | - | + | + | | irqbalance can run in one shot mode, where the IRQs are balanced only once.

The problem is caused by a confusion over where to use "ENABLED" and where "ENABLE".
