Somebody appeared on IRC asking for help with this bug but disappeared
again before I could reply.

It's clear that there is an issue, but I don't see enough information
here to isolate it to specific versions of packages that Ubuntu shipped.
People seem to be reporting versions either not published by Ubuntu or
not reporting complete package names and versions that Ubuntu did ship,
and posts from people not using Ubuntu (Mint is not Ubuntu and makes its
own changes in ways that Ubuntu developers cannot support) also do not
help Ubuntu developers isolate affected versions.

Of all the "me too" reports in the comments above, I can't find a single
report that is not using software from a third party source that states
both the package name and package versions of the kernel and virtualbox
that no longer work and previous package name and package versions of
the kernel and virtualbox that do work.

If you'd like to help, I suggest reporting precisely which package names
and versions are affected on an Ubuntu system with no software from
third party sources installed, as well as confirming that reverting the
kernel does work around the issue and the package names and versions
that you used to do that. The entire package version is important -
cutting off half of it removes valuable information.

Note that I'm not a kernel developer for Ubuntu and am not in a position
to fix the bug. I'm just trying to help gather information that would be
useful to a kernel developer.
