I'm puzzled why my system is spending 1% of CPU on system interrupts when completely idle. I even with avery thing killed except kernel proceses top and vmstat show 0.8% is spent servicing interrupts. A 'vmstat -i' shows the only interrupts set are the CLK and RTC. Anybody come across this? I'm assuming it's a hardware problem.
