kernel_task help

I installed 10.5 (Leopard) on my G4 733 Mhz (after minor tampering with the install package, just switched a boolean FALSE to TRUE).

Everything works fine after startup, but once I sleep the computer and wake it back up, kernel_task starts using at as much CPU runtime as it can, as in past 90%.

Any ideas? I've tried a fresh install (wiped disk), but to no avail.

Thanks!

edit: Problem solved. Turns out installing it from a another computer with target disk wasn't so good an idea as I'd thought.
After installing a DVD drive, things started going smooth again.

stream_set_blocking

STREAM_SET_BLOCKING(3)							 1						    STREAM_SET_BLOCKING(3)

stream_set_blocking - Set blocking/non-blocking mode on a stream

SYNOPSIS

       bool stream_set_blocking (resource  $stream, int  $mode)

DESCRIPTION

	Sets blocking or non-blocking mode on a $stream.

	This function works for any stream that supports non-blocking mode (currently, regular files and socket streams).

PARAMETERS

	      o $stream
		- The stream.

	      o $mode
		-  If  $mode  is  0,  the given stream will be switched to non-blocking mode, and if 1, it will be switched to blocking mode. This
		affects calls like fgets(3) and fread(3) that read from the stream. In non-blocking mode an fgets(3) call will always return right
		away while in blocking mode it will wait for data to become available on the stream.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

NOTES

       Note

	       This function was previously called as set_socket_blocking(3) and later socket_set_blocking(3) but this usage is deprecated.
