init / (idle) CPU USAGE

[James]

Hello,

    I just setup a new machine, And I installed 5.1 on the system. I have been using and running FreeBSD for over 3/4 years and I have never seen this problem. The question is if I killed pid #11 would init die? The process has been using 99% CPU for the past 2 days and wont stop. What is casuing this idle ghost process and cant it be stoped and can i kill it without problems. All replys will be appreciated. thanks
