Hi,
I confirm this bug. Upgrading from 2.6.25-2 to 2.6.26-1 caused kacpi
and kacpi_notify processes to use more tha 75% of my CPU. My laptop is a
Dell Precision M70.
On my config they are interuptible but kill -9 has not effect on them.
$ ps aux|grep kacpi
root 41 0.4 0.0 0 0 ? S< Oct01 5:16 [kacpid]
root 42 0.9 0.0 0 0 ? R< Oct01 11:41 [kacpi_notify]
$ top
...
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
42 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 54.3 0.0 12:17.65 kacpi_notify
41 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 24.6 0.0 5:33.28 kacpid
I found a report for a similar problem in Kernel bugtracker, but it
concerned previous versions of the kernel and was rejected :
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8274
I have to downgrade to 2.6.25-2 as acpi is important for me.
