Bug Description

Binary package hint: acpi

hp nc4010 laptop

no problems with kacpi in 5.04, 6.06, 6.10 then dist-upgraded to 7.04

Now when opening new windows, applications etc. kacpi goes to 10-20% cpu usage and kacpi_notify goes to 60-70% cpu usage.

Occasionally kacpi and kacpi_notify together increase to consume 99% cpu and computer has to be hard reset.

disabled acpi and problems have vanished, apm is buggy too

Is it possible to revert to edgy version of acpi while keeping the rest of feisty?

Computer is working ok now I ended up doing the following:

Installed a lamp configuration with server install disk
Installed generic kernel due to PAE problem with laptop
Installed ubuntu-desktop

Still had erratic lockups -
Removed powernowd and apmd
Installed powersaved an dependencies
Solved.

I have no problems now with powersaved and acpi - powernowd was not
functioning.
