I can also confirm the same problem. Lenovo ThinkPad T61 (Type 7663-13U) Running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS (up to date as of Sep. 23, 2009)
First observed problem after I updated to the latest version of 10.04 LTS earlier this week. Initially noticed a lot of lag, checked on top and found that events/0 was spiking. Both lights on the Ethernet interface were lit up. Downing eth0 stopped the spikes, although the ethernet lights remain on. Have not yet tried pulling battery. -- events/0 spikes CPU every 3 seconds since upgrade to 2.6.31-20 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
