Subject: system freezes for 0.2 to 0.5 seconds when reading /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 00:22:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050728002244.5163ac4a@localhost> (raw)

Hello,

first of all, sorry for the long headline.
second:
Every time, i try to do the following:
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
the whole system looks up for a short period of time (something about
0.5s). realy everything, video and audio encoding, mouse and keyboard
input, firefox playing a flash animation, ...
I am also getting the following:
Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed.

maybe these two things are belonging to each other.

I am using a 2.6.12-rc3-mm1 kernel on a amd64 with a nvidia nforce4
mainboard.


kind regards

flo
