KACPID eating CPU on a 6250 blades with SLES 10 SP1

Hi all,
We have just installed Sles 10 SP1 with OES2 addon on a 6250 blade and it seems that kacpid process is eating CPU (starts with 25 %) cycles.
This process cannot be killed en wil eat more cycles after time. After 2 days is allocating almost two cores.
The latest bios is installed (V11) en we are running kernel 2.6.16.54-0.2.11.
It might be a acpi problem.
Any ideas?
Cheers
JJ Dullink

Same problem here with SLES 9 SP4.
And by the way, booting with acpi=ht might help, although it disables most of the power saving features.

  • [solved] kacpid eat CPU cycle

    Hi,
    I've installed ArchLinux (x86_64) today on my new HP 8740w laptop (Core-i7 Q720 + nVidia quadro FX 3800m).
    With kernel26-2.6.34-1 from testing.
    kacpid but 96.5% of the first core all the time as reported by ps aux.
    I've upgraded the BIOS.
    I use Arch on another laptop (HP 4510s) every day with the same kernel without problem.
    Result of ps aux:

    EDIT:
    There is a know bug in some HP laptop BIOS. Kernel 2.6.35 (git version) resolve this issue, but it need to add the line "echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe01" in /etc/rc.local
    I'm waiting for the Arch version of 2.6.35 now :-)

    Hi rippleAdder,
    Update your BIOS as this bug come from the new HP bios on some laptop (mainly EliteBook) and reset to factory setting. There is a problem with "run always the fan whith AC adapter connected" or something like that (i can't look at my bios now because i'm compiling a big software).
    The patch was applied to the 2.6.35 tree after the rc3 release candidate.
    Please try this patch with the kernel source 2.6.35-rc3 with the last git patch (i'm using the 20100625 version) and add tjhis patch (found somewhere on the kenel bugzilla):

    Restart with the new kernel.

  • Swing application eats CPU on resume after standby

    My application contains a mix of regular Swing components and about 200 (small) custom components (JPanels) that draw themselves. The problem is that if put my laptop into Standby, then restart it, the application eats CPU. It goes from ~4% pre standby to ~48% after standby. Totally repeatable. There is only the main thread, the AWT thread and a couple timers firing: one to get data from a server and one to redraw the custom controls to make the control blink (calls repaint() to cue up a call to paintComponent()). I put timing code in the two timer driven threads and both are running fine. NOTE: each of the custom components is just a rectangle with a short text string in it. Think checkerboard with text. The background color is all that is being changed. It's basically a grid of alarm/status "lights".
    I did some searching and only found a reference to a drawing bug that was fixed back in 1.4.x that had to do with WinXP and dual-headed computers.
    Note that another simple Swing application I wrote (no custom controls), doesn't appear to behave this way, so I suspect it has to do with the custom drawing stuff (rolling my own paintComponent() method).
    Any thoughts on how to figure out what is eating the CPU? I'm using NetBeans 6.7 and JDK 1.6_14 under Windows XP.

    It doesn't matter if it's a Swing timer or a Util timer. It behaves the same either way. That was one of the first things I tried.
    I ended up refactoring the code to go from a grid of individual controls (think checker board where each square is a control that draws itself), to a single "board" control that draws a grid. That seems to have fixed the issue. I can go in/out of Standby and the app doesn't eat a ton of CPU any more. The real problem may still be there, just too small of an effect to notice.
    I don't know why the original design would work fine before a Standby, but not after. Having ~200 little controls doing repaints twice a second must confuse something in the JVM/Windows versus having 4 large controls doing the same amount of drawing.
    It's working, so time to move on.

  • A55M-P33, CPU fan not slowing down with Cool&Quiet

    Hi,
    I recently build a computer with an A55M-P33 motherboard and A4-3400 CPU with stock fan. That CPU came from my computer and was working fine, the fan too and both throttled down with Cool&Quiet enabled.
    On the A55M-P33, the CPU does throttle down (checked with CPU-Z), but the CPU-fan does not. It keeps spinning at full speed.
    Did I miss a setting in the BIOS, besides the setting to enable Cool&Quiet, or is there something else going on? It's not a big issue though, just a little bit of extra noise, but I hate it when something does not work as it should.

    Only solution to that is to determine if you even need the case fan. If you do, then perhaps you can parallel the case fan with the CPU fan if its PWM, else, look at an aftermarket fan controller.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 eats my C: drive in Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1

    I installed Premiere Pro CS4 this last weekend 11-12 April 2009.
    I have a Quadcore 3.0GHz with 8Gb of RAM, a 150Gb C: drive fo rthe op sys Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and programs, a 500Go D: drive for general data and a K: drive 2Tb RAID0 volume useable about 1.8Gb.
    My C: drive was healthy after installation of Premiere Pro with tens of gigabytes free at least. Then I started experimenting with building projects. I put my files on a mix of the D: and K: drives especially the AVCHD video assets on the K:.
    While importing these AVCHD assets I eventually got a message from Vista that the C: drive was full and I did a clean up and that gave approximetely 30Gb free, I went back to importing, in a couple of hours the 30Gb was gone, this can only be Premiere Pro CS4 eating the C: drive and never returning what it takes. This of course is a disaster precisely because it is my op sys drive and Vista will periodically want to make new restore points especially before applying downloaded updates from Microsoft. I ahve run also chkdsk and defragmenter with no effect. I think Premiere Pro is using some sort of secret work files on the C: drive somewhere and that they just accumulate, of course this would be a bug.
    Support Center does not appear to let me open web support issues even though we are in the 90-day bug fix period and I have registered the product with the product key so that is another bug that gets in the way of fixing the first.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks!
    Peter.

    Yeah, I did not take backups that often cos I did not intend putting the machine onto the net, then I got this device that said it would protect against everything by isolating my machine and making it invisible, I await the analysis by the company but it does appear not to have worked, the only thing that works is very real physical isolation and do not use the internet at all from the main machine. Like I say it simply is not confirmed yet but neither is it denied. You cannot actually go so far as to blame Adobe because stopping hackers is the job of the op sys vendor really so I blame Microsoft, the only blame for Adobe is the policy that some functions require internet connection in order to work when they know internet is not secure, so for instance if you want to use the emulators for things like these mobile phones they want you to be connected, I tried that one phone emulator and it said so, I wish they just put all documentation and all software on the DVD. I can roll back to an earlier Vista version from a USB backup disk that is always powered off, then rebuild as necessary, but I want the security firm to see if it is a trojan in fact first and to see if it can upgrade the security device and provide a roll out of the trojan's work. Right now I am still scripting the documentary and this second quarter is getting this Premiere Pro up ready for third quarter production so I can be philosophical for now, but yes later I will get more disciplined. But at least now I (almost) know the security device is not the all singing wonder they said it was. Oh well. I use a second machine too, a PS3 with Linux, that is what I am using now, this one doesn't seem to get hacked even though it is my sacrificial machine.

    Adobe deserves criticism for its shoddy QC, but not for maing you exposing your main machine at risk on the internet. I never do that, and I never have had a virus or malware on it--never in all the years I've been doing this. I have picked up a few on my internet machine, though, but they are easily fixed with the security scheme I use.
    As for restore points possibly eating up disk space, which you alluded to earlieranother never for me. Restore points are a half assed measure at best. My security system is a full clone backup of my C drive starting the day I install and OS on it, and every time I add add a program, and every day when I am working a big complex project. Otherwise, once a week. It takes a few minutes only. That way I can restore everything in equally few minutes should anything bad happen, like poorly designed software affecting other software, a virus, malware, etc, and including drive failurewhich has happened twice over the years.
    Don't get me wrong, a virus checker is very useful to a point, but real security design has to start long before you install one, especially if your machine is the heart of your business, as it is for me. What is that old saying? An ounce of prevention is worth..........

  • Upgrade of Integation Services (Windows 2012 R2) on Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG fails

    Here is the scenario:
    Legacy Host: Windows 2008 R2
    Guest VM: Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG cluster.
    After importing the VM (2008 R2 and Exchange 2013 DAG) into a 2012 R2 host (Cluster).  (copy VM files to new 2012 R2host) Everything works fine.
    Then upgrading "Installation Services" (for Windows 2012 R2 host) on the imported VM runs fine with no errors to the "Restart" prompt. VM than shows: "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn
    of your computer." Hangs there for about 20 minutes until is says "shutting down". Hangs there for 20 minutes until power off. Restart to normal start; "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turnoff your computer." proceeds slowly
    to "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." hangs there again indefinite. Sometime hangs at shutdown cycle and "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." indefinitely.
    I moved 20 other machines from a 2008 R2 host to new Windows 2012 R2 hosts all of these machines install the 2012 R2 Integration services just fine on the 2008 R2 VM. Just the 2008 R2 VMs clustered (DAG) and Exchange 2013 SP1 do not take the Integration
    Services upgrade.
    Any advise from Microsoft? I know I could decommission the DAG and Exchange machines and install Integration services on the native box before Exchange and DAG and that would sure work, but I'd rather avoid that amount of work for a simple integration layer
    upgrade.

  • Problem with Weblogic Builder SP1

    I have a problem with Weblogic Builder SP1. I basically re-used my EJB deployment

  • Cannot write email body in OWA with Exchange 2013 SP1 CU6

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Exchange 2013 SP1 with CU6.
    All of OWA user cannot write in the body of email. They can write the Object and the recipient but they cannot select body and write the body message. We have try with multiple Web brother and desactivate all Add-on but the problem still there...
    The only way that works is to respond to an email, and in that case, it's working, we can write normally in the body of email.
    Have you an idea ?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, 
    After contacting Microsoft support, we have found the solution.
    The problem appear after we have recently install the patch described in this KB 2997209:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2997209?wa=wsignin1.0
    But on 2013 Mailbox Server, Echange is not installed in the default path C:\ but on D:\
    So we have to manually copy the content of folder D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\Owa\prem\15.0.995.29 in the folder 15.0.995.31 (MAKE a BACKUP of FOLDER BEFORE!)
    No need to reboot, or restart IIS, it's working after that!

  • MSI 1612 Error with ZEN 7 SP1

    Since upgrading to ZENworks for Desktops 7, I have been unable to
    distribute MSI applications. I always seem to have an error 1612 when
    the application tries to distribute. I believe that this error usually
    means that the path to the installation files cannot be found, usually
    because of a file rights issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
    I distribute most applications by associating them to workstations or
    workstations in a container, though I have the same 1612 error if I do
    associate by user. I have the same problem whether the Distribute in
    Workstation Security Space if Workstation Associated option is enabled
    or disabled.
    I typically use the File Rights screen under the Common tab to assign
    rights to the distribution files directory, so I know that the
    workstation object has rights to the files. Just to test this, I
    created an app object to run an Explorer window as an unsecured system
    user and made sure that I could browse to the distribution directory as
    the System account.
    I am currently running ZENworks 7 SP1 on a NetWare 6.5 SP5 server. All
    workstations are running Windows XP Pro SP2.
    As an experiment, I tried working around the problem by creating a
    simple application object and running an MSI installation by calling
    msiexec from a predistribution script as follows:
    %WINDIR%\System32\msiexec.exe /i "\\GRYPHON\DISTRIBUTION\West Point
    Bridge Designer 2004\West Point Bridge Designer 2004.msi" /qn
    Installing this way seems to work fine.
    Any ideas what is going wrong?

    I'd like to know of this hotfix as well. I cant distribute a msi app
    either due to the 1612 errors.

    Hi Guillaume Pincon,
    Please first update both server to latest update and turn off the Windows firewall for narrow down this issue then try build the cluster again, one of the cluster create condition is all the servers should have the same software updates (patches) and service
    packs. If all above steps not work please post the second validation error information.
