Kernel_task uses about 100% cpu all the time

[fragreaver]

Hardware:

+ Athlon64 X2 3800+

+ MSI K8N Neo4-F

+ 1.5GB Ram

+ 320GB Seagate (IDE)

+ ATI X1600 Silentpipe II (256mb)

+ Chipset: nforce4

 

Software:

Mac.OS.X.10.4.8.JAS.AMD.INTEL

 

At the uPhuck-Version, the kernel_task used about 30% cpu all time. So I reinstalled the version from JAS.

No additional software installed, just the plain OS. And in the activity monitor, it looks like this:

 

 

The console says:

It repeats the BestCalendarDateFromString all the time...

 

system.log shows the following:

 

May 23 11:21:28 stephans-computer configd[50]: setting hostname to "stephans-computer.local"

May 23 20:55:16 stephans-computer kernel[0]: (78: coreservicesd)tfp: failed on 0:

 

I already tried to deactivate some chipsets (serial, network), but it did no good.

Does anybody know, how to fix this?

 

How I solved the issue

 

I reformatted the entire harddrive and created only one partition. Now, thats the same state as before the 10.4.9 Update, but it works.

Guess I'll have to buy another harddrive for backup usage
