[Solved] High load average even when idle after update
Hello arch fellows!
I have a Dell Inspiron N4110 intel i5 4gb ram. I think it is a decent laptop and should run Arch Linux pretty well, right? Well, it does until I run 'pacman -Syu'. After the update, the load average gets over 1.00 even when idle. It hardly gets under 0.40. Before updating, the average is under 0.10 most times. The command top doesn't show me anything. All the processes are practically 0%. It seems to me the problem would be the kernel, am I right? But I tried the fallback option when booting but it is the same.
Does anybody have an idea of what could be the problem? I appreciate any help.

Thanks for the reply. It was really a kernel problem. I downgraded it to an older version and it looks normal now
