About 45 minutes ago, kacpi started using 50-90% of my cpu doing something that used *lots* of swapping. This machine is a desktop with an Intel 865 chipset, running Sarge. I googled (slowly), but the only thing I could find was to set 'noacpi' in the bootloader script. That's already there, from an earlier try. The string 'kapci' isn't in any file in /etc; find, which, and whereis can't find it; it's process #5, so I was reluctant to kill it -- but when I tried, it wouldn't die; apt-get doesn't know anything about it; none of the modules in /lib/modules/.../acpi/ seem to be loaded; acpi-available returns 0; there's very little info in the files in /proc/acpi; I get fairly frequent log messages saying that apm was overridden by acpi... Can someone please tell me what is going on? Ideally, I'd like a shutdown -h to kill the power, but I'll happily do without that if this is life with apci... -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
