Recent kernel problem with VT? (system freezes) (KVM, VirtualBox)

My system freezes when I try to use KVM (or VirtualBox with Intel VT enabled)
It also crashes on with Fedora 11 beta, so maybe this is 2.6.29-related.
(I can use full virtualization with OpenSUSE 11.1, Xen)

Anyone an idea? Which bugtracker should I use for something like this....

Some specs:
/ uses ext4

Core 2 Duo 8500
Intel VT is enabled in BIOS

I get the exact same thing
VirtualBox with VT-X
or modprobe kvm-intel
Crashing my whole pc.

Vmware runs fine.
I havent tested anything else..

and yeah the recent kernel started the issue.

There are some changes in KVM with the Linux 2.6.29.2.

Report the crash to LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List)
