Hi everyone,
I am running fedora 8 under vmplayer and im having a strange issue
with ksoftirqd.
The system is constantly using about 25%-30% cpu used by ksoftirq. I
was running fedora 7 under vmplayer with no such issues.
Attached is an excerpt from top.
I'm not sure what other information I need to investigate this.
Anyone any ideas?
Best regards and thanks,
Alastair
ksoftirq CPU usage usually spikes when there's a lot of network
traffic going on.
Did you install the vmware-tools (on the guest)?
