Hi, sometimes trying to start kvm on 2.6.30-rc5 (with kvm module v85, userspace v85) fails with: kvm_create_vm: Interrupted system call Could not create KVM context and following backtrace appears in dmesg: [ 309.546138] BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low! [ 309.549964] turning off the locking correctness validator.

Further attempts are usually successfull.
