same problem here on a lenovo T61p. and also for me: "ifconfig eth0 down" fixed the problem for the time being; I didn't yet try the "remove battery" trick either.
took me long to find this thread.. I measured the intervals and on my machine they are exactly 4 seconds between each stop / freeze. also I used "top" to see what is causing the 100% processor load spikes and found it is event/0 sometimes event/1 (lucky cpu seems to be selected during boot). now by putting "my" keywords into this thread I hope I can help others find it... in short: ubuntu 100% processor load every 4 seconds with event/0. -- 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
