gravol Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi I did a fresh install on my HP dv6000 using the Retail 10.5.6 dvd and Boot132 to get it running, then installed my kexts and Chameleon Bootloader. Everything works great but there is one thing that bugs me. After exactly 20 minutes of inactivity (yes exactly 20 every time) the processor activity goes up to around 50% without any new processes showing up in the Activity monitor. I've had both the Xnu speedstep and the VoodooPower installed for cpu throttling. They both jump to max freq (1600MHz) when this occurs. I would not really care about such a small thing but since it's on a laptop the cpu fan kicks in right away at full speed. As soon as i hit a key or move the mouse the cpu load goes straight down and it also throttles down to idle at 800MHz. This also happens without any of the speedstep kexts loaded, then the processor runs at full frequency of course but after 20 min it's the same story and it kicks the load to around 50% which gets the fans going. I never had these problems before on other kernels like sleepkernel, speedstepkernel, modbin or vanilla 922. So is this related to the Vanilla 9.6.0?? Any ideas welcome..
