The virtual box drivers are a huge mess. Seriously, I really don't even know how the things are able to work at all (virtual table pointers from userspace through to the kernel?) I spent a bunch of time to try to clean them up and get them into mergable state, but without the ability to also fix up the userspace side, that ended up being a dead-end. Can you duplicate the problem without these modules loaded? I'd blame them for any problems you might ever have, given how crazy they are. thanks, greg k-h -- 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/
