debian hangs cpu 100 percent
Well I finally got a "good" Debian install or at least a compelete one
anyways and everything is working fine (only took three times trying to
install it lol) But for some reason when I do anything such as untar a
large archive or even ftp to my computer a bunch of files my cpu jumps
to 100 percent or around that. I have a 733mhz PC I have had up to
512megs of memory in it at times trying to figure this out. It started
with the 2.2 kernel so I compiled the 2.4-18 kernel and am using that I
also did a apt-get dist-upgrade under "testing", and hoped that would
fix my problems. I first thought it had to do with a bad X config but I
tried the untar of a huge file with out X running and my cpu still go to
almost 100 percent and made the pc sluggish. I am guessing I have a few
bad packages out there and it will require a full reinstall of the
system in order to get it to work right. I have attached the output of
a top also to see if anyone can see anything wrong with it. Thanks so
much..
