I'm not sure, if my hint can help you. But did you read any error
message from /var/log/messages?
I've gotten a 99% CPU processes on a cobalt server with suse linux,
because the RAM was not enough (65 MB) and I've gotten an error messages
about the page (swap oder VM) in /var/log/messages. With 256 MB RAM, the
99% CPU processes goes away.

I'm a FreeBSD user!
