[Users] BUG: scheduling while atomic

[Cliff Wells]

I'm running proxmox 1.4:

Linux proxmox1 2.6.24-9-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 17 09:34:41 CET 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I occasionally get these in syslog, sometimes they come in so fast the
machine becomes unresponsive and must be power cycled:

... etc.


Any suggestions?  Would recompiling the kernel with preemption disabled help?
