kacpid problems
Hello,
My trip_points file in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM looks like this:
critical (S5): 85 C passive: 70 C: tc1=5 tc2=3 tsp=256 devices=0xcdde39a8
active[0]: 45 C: devices=0xcdd94c28
The problem comes when I try to compile big programs, like inkscape(vector drawing program) or when I play games. I think this is a bug, but I don't really know, because I'm not a acpi programmer. When my processor gets too hot, over 85 C it tries to shutdown(S5), but the only thing that happends is that kacpid starts running and runns with 99% CPU usage. (taken from top)
5 root 7 -10 0 0 0 R 99.0 0.0 0:17.94 kacpid
Is it someone who knows what is wrong? Is it a bug or is it my hardware that is the problem?
thanks in advance
Jon Emil

I have this also, but not always. Also even kacpid shows 99% CPU usage,
as I see gkrellm, it shows that about 45% is spent in kernel space, and the rest in user space. I say not always because sometimes my machine goes without any problem even when hot, or bugging when it is not really hot. Don't know if my 'bug' is really related to yours, but yes, it is annoying as when this happens I can not shutdown manually even. The last line I see acpi_poweroff_called (even if I stop the kacpid process before).
Is it a laptop or a desktop machine?

Laszlo/GCS

I have a laptop. After the kacpid starts running with 99% cpu usage I cannot use my machine I have to reboot, because it's lagging too much. And the last line I see when I switch to init 0 is also "acpi_poweroff_called".
