Yes, but under VirtualBox ....
That is, attempts to boot with 2.6.32.trunk.686
also fail using Debian as a guest os and never
reach the logon prompt ....
However, I do receive an error message ....
Bug : Soft lockup. CPU0 stuck for 61s. modprobe xx.
where the modprobe xx number seems to vary
with different boot attempts ....
This occurs for me on two different machines
with two different host operating systems ....
o host : Debian 5.04 Lenny
guest : Debian 5 Sid
o host : Windows Vista Home Premium
guest : Debian 5 Squeeze
In both cases above I installed the guest os
beginning with Debian Lenny and then upgraded
one to Squeeze and the other to Squeeze and
then to Sid ....
In both cases booting with earlier version kernels
is not problematic ....
Google-ization also shows that the CPU0 stuck problem
has occured with distributions other than Debian as well
but I've never found a fix ....
These are only experimental Debian installs for me
so I'm not in a particular hurry to find a solution
to the problem ....
The major side-effect is that VirtualBox Guest Additions
will install only for the latest installed kernel ....
