#2 lore raw

Hi!

Quoted 11 lines

I finally got the "mem" state to function on my laptop (a state which I use extensively in that "other" OS when I'm working.)

A few issues though... my cpu, upon return, powers up to full-speed making it impossible to truly conserve power, sort of defeating the whole process.

It seems a rogue process (one which I can't kill)... listed only as 'sh -i" is using ~99% of the available CPU cycles. I have no idea where it's coming from.

Additionally the system gets less and less responsive with each return from the "mem" state. Probably due to many of these rogue processes building up and bogging the system down.

Below is the script I used, which I found online and modified (very little) as needed. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I'm using FC4 w/ 2.6.12 (unpatched.)

Are you using preempt by chance? See wchan where the sh -i is running... then debug it :-).
