Comment 65 for bug 574910

Matthew,
  What kind of work loads are you running, that may help us track down your issue.

Al,
  sorry to hear that, note the code that causes the load average bug is now upstream so you may run into on any newer kernel if it has been built with CONFIG_NOHZ (tickless). We are still looking into the fix for tickless kernels but it can be fixed by just not building the kernel with that option. Thanks for you input and best of luck.

slenova,
  If the test kernels fix this for you then yes it is safe to ignore the high load averages on the default kernel until a new kernel is released.
