steve buchemi Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hello all, I have had leo running on my PC for about a month now however up until yesterday I could only boot leo with the install disk. I hadn't gotten around to figuring out how to fix the boot issue. So yesterday I used the startupfiletool and that fixed my booting problem. However now when i'm running leo every second or so Activity Monitory shows kernel_task spikes my CPU usage about every second causing my system to hang for a second then it goes back down to .6 or so. PID=0 Process = kernel_task User=root Threads=~55 Rsize=~123MB Vsize=1.13GB This is the second leo install that has started to do this after I made it bootable. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. And please be specific so I don't screw up your instructions. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

aghachi Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 me 3. i have notice if i use osx86 tools to force restart or force shut down then when osx loads back up my cpu cores are back to normal. but if i use the shutdown menu from the toolbar one of my cores are at 100 percent the whole time, which kernel_task is the culprit. same stats as the thread starter, 55 threads and pushing the cpu beyond 100 percent to 100.9 or 100.8. i think it has to do with being killed correctly when shutdown or restarted. i don't know any other solution to this. this started happing on 10.5.5 i was on 10.5.3 with no problems. stupid upgrades lol.
