ACPI produces 100% system load

ACPI produces 100% system load

[noth]

This is on a Toshiba Satellite 5205. I have settled on the options of AC 
Adapter, Battery, Processor, Thermal Zone, and the Toshiba extras. After 
having the same results from every other possible configuration. I went 
through the message boards and found a mention of the Fan, and Toshiba extras 
conflicting. Not having the Fan selected at least "seems" to lessen the 
problem (system usage is still 100% but it seems I can steal back almost 80% 
(In spikes only!)  of the processor with out the fan option. 30% or so with 
it.). This is a legacy free system (no accessible bios) so I kind of need 
ACPI to work. Not sure what is causing it au, top, etc... do not report any 
thing useful. I am using the latest Gentoo-sources kernel, as I get the same 
results from it as I do from the Lost-logic and Vanilla sources. I have not
attached the acpidmp (too large for mailing list).

System uses an Intel 82845, 82801 chipset and Pentium4-m.

Use the vanilla-sources + latest acpi from sourceforge for testing.
acpi-sources lags behind development a little.
gentoo-sources has a lot of patches applied to it but not the latest
acpi :)

I like the Con Kolivas patches but I'd only apply those once the rest of
your system is working ok.

Try latest patches on sf.net, this should be fixed. Let us know if it
isn't.

I can confirm that the 100% CPU utilization is gone with the SF latest
SF acpi patches. Other problems have cropped up, but I suppose that's a
separate post.

I also have a 5205.  Try out the gs-sources ebuild.  That's what I've 
been using and it works well - plus it doesn't have the 100% problem either.
