Does irqbalance need networking? /etc/rc.d/init.d/irqbalance: # Check that networking is up. if [ "$NETWORKING" = "no" ] then exit 0 fi
The notion is that if networking is not enabled, that there are no high volume interrupts, and therefore no advantage to irqbalance running, but theres really no reason it can't be removed. Fixed in rawhide and --12.fc10. Thanks!
irqbalance-0.55-12.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
