4529	vboxdrv fails to load on 2.6.31-rc3 (says NMI watchdog is active) => Fixed in SVN	Robert Hancock		"When booting with kernel 2.6.31-rc3 x86_64 on Fedora 11, vboxdrv fails to load claiming the NMI watchdog is active. This occurs even if nmi_watchdog=0 is specified on the kernel command line.

{{{
vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently...
vboxdrv: NMI watchdog either active or at least initialized. Please disable the NMI
vboxdrv: watchdog by specifying 'nmi_watchdog=0' at kernel command line.
}}}

Strangely enough, simply attempting to load the driver again often succeeds."	defect	closed	host support	VirtualBox 3.0.2	fixed			Windows	Linux
