With the system idle, vmstat reports about 20% system cpu and 10% interrupt cpu usage. Also systat indicates SWI8: clock activity in addition to the normal idle activity. The same SMP kernel appears to run fine on a different Intel SDV (Lyon 4X). Are there any special setup steps required using the Intel Bandeera SDV? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
