If I try to load the vboxdrv kernel module conpiled for KOTD 2.6.31-rc4- master_20090729140126_ddfe58ae-default x86_64 it fails with:
Jul 31 19:11:23 PC1 kernel: [ 414.624889] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently... Jul 31 19:11:23 PC1 kernel: [ 414.624893] vboxdrv: NMI watchdog either active or at least initialized. Please disable the NMI Jul 31 19:11:23 PC1 kernel: [ 414.624894] vboxdrv: watchdog by specifying 'nmi_watchdog=0' at kernel command line.
With KOTD 2.6.30-master_20090718013908_97e05475 I didn't saw that problem and there seems to be no kernel configuration change that obviously triggers that problem. Any ideas what's broken ? Should I file a bug against virtualbox or is this a kernel problem ?
Talk to the virtualbox developers, this looks like they need to fix their code to handle the way NMI is now handled in the kernel. good luck, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
