I got a polite automated response suggesting alternate destinations for my email. To my non-technical eyes, your addresses seemed most appropriate. "Mr. Kroah-Hartman, "Excuse me for bothering you, but I do not know where to report my problem and I found your name in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.8-saucy/BUILD.LOG. "I am running Linux Mint KDE v15, but I like to run the latest kernel. I have never had a problem before installing the latest "general release" kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ until yesterday. "After I installed v3.9.8-saucy, the system could no longer "read" cpu usage of my quad-core Intel q6600. Conky, "top", "mpstat -P ALL" all show ZERO CPU usage. Everything else is fine; it is just the reporting that is busted. "If you are the wrong person and cannot forward to correct destination, then I am sorry for wasting your time." I neglected to write that when I rebooted the identical system using v3.9.7-saucy as the kernel, the CPU usage for each core was registering non-zero values when appropriate as usual. Cordially, Richard Corbin
