Re: lvcreate on 2.6.22.1: kernel tried to execute NX-protected page

[Juergen Kreileder <jk@blackdown.de>]

I've upgraded devmapper to 1.02.20 and lvm2 to 2.02.26.  Didn't help much,
I just got a the same BUG again:

kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address f492c1f8
 printing eip:
