Battery out, and unplug for a while, worked for me also. (Lenovo T61, Maverick)
Previously I tried booting with acpi=off, didn't help. I tried ifconfig eth0 down, didn't have any effect. Tried booting previous kernel, but it strangely had the same problem. I wonder what was it that triggered linux and/or the hardware to suddenly behave this way... it has never happened before in my 2+ years of using this laptop with kubuntu. -- 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
