I have no problem making bug 913787 a duplicate of this one. I think that the major issue regarding that bug is on the Linux Mint distribution which, while it is based on Ubuntu Oneric, is not actually Ubuntu and it is not unreasonable to expect that the Ubuntu team to not want to support it.
My system, where I am having the same issue, is running Ubuntu 11.10. My current work around is to install the mainline 3.3-rc2 kernel described in message 3 above. To use that kernel, I had to change and re-configure the Broadcom wireless network card driver (changed driver to b43 from the wl driver the Ubuntu installer choose) and remove the Ubuntu Virtualbox packages and install the packages from Virtualbox.com which seems to successfully compile and install the vboxdrv kernel driver. With those two changes (and remembering that anything kernel related cannot be automatically installed or updated) my system runs with no trouble and this bug is not there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/925309 Title: unkillable process consuming 100% cpu time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/925309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
