foldingathome fails to start on this one machine. I have several 64 bit machines (amd64 and emt64) running it and the others work though I can't see what's different about this system that it doesn't other than the kernel version. downloads the core, engages successfully, starts initial work packet, and then bails with: [20:59:51] FATAL: Couldn't start core work threadFATAL: Couldn't start core checkpoint timer thread [20:59:51] Folding@home Core Shutdown: UNKNOWN_ERROR [20:59:51] CoreStatus = 63 (99) [20:59:51] + Error starting Folding@Home core.

Hey Travis... Did you ever figure this out? If so, what was the problem?
I guess he fixed it
Same problem here, on hardened x86. It is surely related to kernel hardening setup, as I recently (1-2 months ago) change my kernel and changed some options inside too (and just find out folding@home wasn't working anymore). tested 5.0.2-r5 and 6.02-r1 and same error. No message from PaX or in logs. Will investigate later.
