It would be useful to try running oprofile on an otherwise idle system

and see where it reports the CPU time is being used..

Hello


I googled a little and found out that oprofile is a little above my head.

So as I thought that some driver or HW might be responsible for this I

tried to disable various onboard HW and found out that if I disable

onboard ethernet problem dissapears, so now I've added netdev and

maintainer of R8169 driver to cc.


Thanks

Dushan
