ksoftirqd eats 100% cpu :-(
Hello list,
I use Debian 3.0 on an HP9000/710. Almost all works fine, but the ksoftirqd eats all cpu time. I read that it's a bug in the kernel. Is there a patch for fixing this problem?
Best regards, Tilo

It's a well known bug. on 7x0 and 7x5 boxes.
Maybe we should add a faq entry ?

It's a bug/feature related to the HIL drivers.
Since we have to poll the HIL ports the whole time the bunch of running timers increase the ksoftirqd load a lot.

Okay, if it's a feature and not a bug I can sleep without worries ;-)

Btw, if the mouse and keyboard are attached, the ksoftirqd needs about 50-60%, without mouse and keyboard, it needs 100%.
