I really doubt that this kernel daemon should really be using cpu. It seems to respond with a higher cpu usage when i'm idle. It immediately goes away when something else uses cpu. If you need any more info just ask. I'm I'm using 2.4.8-pre7 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8371 [KX133] (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8371 [KX133 AGP] 00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super South] (rev 22) 00:07.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. Bus Master IDE (rev 10) 00:07.4 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI] (rev 30) I didn't see acpi in my motherboard manual at the time of configuring the kernel, should i be using the acpi idle daemon instead of the supposedly supported APM idle daemon?
