Description of problem: These two daemons are permanently in DW state at tops output, even with the system otherwise idle. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.4.21-15.EL How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just to reboot the system and watch the load steadly approaching 2. Actual results: The load steadly reaches 2, even with no other applications running. Expected results: The load should be around 0 with the system idle Additional info: From time to time in a aparently random manner, the load jumps 1 ou 2 units, and steadly decays to 2 after some dozen seconds.
these 2 threads are part of binary only kernel modules, which we cannot fix. It's usually a quite simple fix to fix this type of bug.... if we have/ship the source, which we don't. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78616 ***
