I can reproduce this problem in a virtual machine, which means I have found a real kernel or GCC bug. Alas, VirtualBox 4.2.2 hangs entirely when I run this virtual machine - I've never seen anything like that. Windows 7 64 bit which hosts this VirtualBox cannot even kill a VirtualBox instance. Unfortunately even though I run the kernel with "console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0" parameters they don't help - I see no panic messages on a "virtual" serial port, which looks like we've got a very deep freeze. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
