Hi, I got the appended BUG from a 32-bit 2.6.22.1 kernel (with exec-shield patch and PAE enabled) on an Athlon64 with dmsetup 1.02.03 and lvm2 v2.02.02. (Note, the message comes from the vanilla kernel, not from the exec-shiled patch.) I wasn't able to reproduce the problem so far. The machine creates several snapshot volumes every 4 hours and worked fine with the new kernel for several days. It had 2.6.16.12+exec-shield before and ran flawlessy for over a year. kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt?
