Pardon me if I'm in the wrong place, but I'm having an "interesting" problem with my laptop that seems to be related to a thermal event. I frequently perform rather lengthy (30 min) parallel compiles on my laptop, and have found that at a certain point, my fan will stay on and two of my processor's cores will continue at about 40% after the compile is stopped and "top" shows that the the system is effectively idle. I suspect a kernel thread or interrupt interaction for causing the load on these two cores, since there doesn't appear to be any processes consuming the CPU resources. I'm hoping that the expertise on this list can at least point me to a place in the kernel that may be the cause. The thermal event seems to happen when the CPU reaches about 205' Fahrenheit according to KSensor. The CPU is an i7 740 on a Dell Precision M6500 running an up-to-date Fedora 14 Linux 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64 x86_64. Thank you for any pointers/suggestions. I'll be happy to help and/or file a bug if I've come to the right place. Otherwise, if you can point me in the right direction I'll move on :) -- Michael N. Moran (h) 770 516 7918 5009 Old Field Ct.
