[Bug 574910] Re: High load averages on Lucid EC2 while idling

Adding a link to linux-image as this does not just affect EC2.

I have a decent number of HP ProLiant systems and about 90% are
exhibiting the exact same problems. All of the systems affected have a
load average between 0.7 and 1.1 just a short while after being
rebooted, and are 100% idle.

Additionally I am seeing high memory usage when idle, on a box with 8GB
RAM doing 'free -m' shows 700MB as used. Unfortunately this multiplies
up (but not linearly) so a box with 64GB RAM seems to have 3-4GB used
almost straight after reboot.

I should note that these are fresh installs, with no services added,
just OpenSSH running essentially.

Attached file containing output from some diagnostic commands.
