Speaking of which.. what's with powertop on 2.6.24 ???
It's gone from 100-200 wakeups/sec to 20000 wakeups/sec !!!!!!!
ho hum.. Lenovo T61?
I have some reports that that happens once in a while (but it's not
limited to .24 and it's also real, it's not a powertop bug but it
actually is waking up that much)..
..
No, it's my hefty Dell Inspiron 9400.
And I just figured out the powertop: it needed the kernel timers
patch from the powertop site that was originally for 2.6.21..
...
Dagnabbit.. it's done it again.. went from 100-200 wakeups/sec
back up to 20000+ wakeups/sec. This time *with* the powertop patches in place.
Somethings broken in there, but I don't know what.
Or how to make it happen on demand.. it's fine after rebooting again.
???
At least now I know to look when I hear the fan turning on
when the system is otherwise supposed to be idle..
2.6.23 did not have this problem.
