CentOS5 guest consumes 40% CPU while idling

[pepelton]

I did a fresh CentOS 5.2 installation, installed parallel tools and all updates. Still the same situation: 40% CPU usage.

The Activity monitor sample is attached as to this reply.

Here is my sample of a CentOS 5.2 VM that has been suspended. OSX is reporting that Parallels is using about 3% in this state.

Is there any resolution on this? Does the latest version of Parallels Tools posted in other threads fix this? (I am seeing this problem too.)

 

[John@Parallels]

Tools were rewritten, please try to use build 5624

Doesn't help. In fact, I still see 30-40% CPU usage on my Macbook after shutting down Linux and reaching the "System halted" message. Once I stop the VM, the CPU usage goes away.
