Hello,
I'm having trouble with ACPI on my Centrino notebook; if ACPI is disabled, a lot of my PCI devices (e.g. onboard sound) don't get any IRQ. If ACPI is enabled, the system boots fine, but about a minute after startup, for no obvious reason keventd ("events/0", PID 3) starts chewing 99.9% CPU and the fan starts spinning at maximum. This is with 2.6.0-test7, although I've had the same problem in all kernels I've tried on this box (from 2.4.22-ac through from 2.6.0-test5 to -test7). Chris Wright suggested runaway ACPI events could cause events/0 to chew CPU, which seems consistent with what I'm seeing here.
If I am to diagnose it further, though, I'll have to figure out what ACPI events (if any) are causing the massive spikes in CPU usage. How can I trace this? I've had acpid running, but the log in /var/log/acpid only shows simple messages (started service, registered 1 rule). Nothing particularly interesting from dmesg or TTY 12, either.
CC'd replies would be appreciated.
Thanks, Martin
