Any comments on the above, @Matt_Hartley ? The issue ought to be reopened. It is not solved.
Okay, so we have devices attached. I will match the devices attached (this time also adding the Ethernet expansion card to see if I can replicate this and call it a bug).
If I cannot, then we may have a hardware issue with either the expansion card or the board itself.
As I prepare an external USB pendrive to test the booting from it as you suggested: any linux OS youād prefer? Ubuntu 22.04 LTS would do?
Is a good choice. Also Fedora 37.
Booting from a USB drive gives the same result: after plugging in the ethernet expansion card, the kworker jumps to ~90% CPU usage.
Iāve traced what the kworker is doing with:
# trace-cmd record -e workqueue:workqueue_queue_work
# trace-cmd report > trace.log
And these are the first 100 lines:

Only āsolutionā I know is sudo modprobe -r xhci-pci, but of course then the buiilt-in camera and the ethernet expansion card donāt work.
To confirm:
-
Booted to Live USB only, not booted to the hard drive.
-
Inserted Ethernet expansion card, CPU spike?
This is beginning to feel like a bad expansion card as it cannot replicate it here with a known to be good working card.
Try one more time, expansion card inserted powered off. Then boot to the Live USB, report back.
