Description Mihnea Istinie 2006-02-22 14:21:31 UTC 
with beta5 x86_64 on a AMD64-3800:

if you start the package manger in the running system, go to selections and simply press "accept" (without any changes) the some kind of powerfull machine ends up with a load of 9, 1 GB mem usage and is for around 45s/1min not usable. not even the mouse is moving any more.

after a while it's better again, but this load is insane.

a top snapshot (the 9 load was shortly afterwards):

Comment 1 Michael Gross 2006-02-22 14:39:37 UTC 
During the installation everything was fine?
Comment 2 Mihnea Istinie 2006-02-22 14:45:17 UTC 
yes, if not I would have stated it.
Comment 3 Stefan Hundhammer 2006-02-22 14:52:22 UTC 
known problem of the solver
Comment 4 Klaus Kämpf 2006-02-22 14:53:22 UTC 
Huh ?

Please provide y2log
Comment 5 Stefan Schubert 2006-02-22 15:28:22 UTC 
Comparing results is too expensive. I will have to find another solution.
--> Switched off.
Comment 6 Stefan Schubert 2006-02-22 15:28:40 UTC 
fixed
Comment 7 Joe Crollard 2006-02-23 02:17:57 UTC 
Sounds kind of like my problem

..although a bit different.  y2base seems to take up  a ton of memory and cpu usage.
