Description Paco Avila 2003-11-13 12:10:30 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-ES; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031030 Epiphany/1.0.4

Description of problem:
In my Compaq Presario 1722 with "acpi=on" and "pci=noacpi" if I do:

cat /proc/acpi/battery/CMB0/info

The systems hangs during a quater of second with a 100% CPU
occupation. After this, the system function properly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat /proc/acpi/battery/CMB0/info


Actual Results:  Ths system hangs during a fraction of second.

Expected Results:  The system should be fine.

Additional info:

Due to this issue I can't run Gnome Battery Applet because this
program access this file very often and the CPU is always at 100% of
usage.

Can you check if these go away with a recent kernel?

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
