Hi,

I have an MPC880 @133MHz. If I look into the load (with uptime) I get 
values around 3.0 but my CPU is always under 5 percent (top). How could I 
explain this? I'm using linux 2.6.19 with xenomai but no xenomai application is 
running at all. I have a cramfs on a nor flash. What could be the problem? If I 
kill the process I developed the average load goes down.

Thank you,
Adi
