Re: [Xen-users] Load Average 1.00 at idle

Do the http://people.redhat.com/riel/ packages fix the load average problem? Also do they introduce any other problems? When I updated to the 1447 RPMs my domU I had running mailman stopped delivering mail in a timely way, and I had to move it back to user-mode-linux to get it running again.

I noticed this too, but I did not install any SMP kernel packages at all.


Could you check the output of "cat /proc/interrupts"?
Maybe some interrupt is constantly firing, causing the high load?
