I've been testing 2.4.24-rc1 the past few days and I think I may have found an issue. The load on my machine is hovering steadily at 1 but it's not running anything to cause it, not anything I can see anyway: > w 12:32:40 up 4:56, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 0.93 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT destiney pts/0 pluto.localdomai 09:30 0.00s 0.54s 0.08s sshd: destiney [priv] > ps aux USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.1 1940 644 ?

When I boot another kernel, say 2.6.23.1 using the 2.6.18 distro config I don't see this load issue. This is on Debian 4.0 and I'm using make-kpkg, which I will admit is a little new to me personally: make-kpkg clean && \ screen fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-11 \ kernel_image kernel_headers How would I go about tracking down this load issue? What else can I provide? It's very minimal but would seeing my .config help?
