I encounter the same issue as described above on my laptop. This is a Compac Evo 600n (if I recall correctly). It has 1 GHz processor and 385 MB RAM. I have had Debian Sarge, Ubuntu Hoary/Breezy on it, and everything worked fine. With DSL 2.0 frugal install (toram option) though, the fan appears to be turned off. So, whenever the CPU reaches 100%, the machine takes a little "thinking break", and it hangs, i.e. the mouse doesn't follow along, and applications doesn't respond untill the CPU usage goes down again. Perhaps this is a problem with Compac laptops? Or has anyone using a different kind of laptop experienced the same issues?
Now, with my laptop this is only a minor annoyance. It is a quite powerful machine, and it doesn't happen all the time. But it still is somewhat annoying. If you guys find out something more, or know a possible solution to the problem, I would like to know! In my case at least, I am quite certain that it is not a hardware related issue, as everything works fine with other systems (like Debian/Ubuntu) on the same machine.
