Sure, I've uploaded the config to http://codeprobe.de/tmp/config-2.6.24-4-generic It only happens when changing the cpu_share for another user and this user needs to have a cpu hogging process running (like boinc, a while-1 loop or similar). It does not dump anything to the console, but the VirtualBox process on the host takes all CPU - there seems to be no crash, but an endless loop only. I have reported it at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9779 already, with a testcase (outlined above).
