Some news. The original reporter of the Mandriva's bug has added a comment saying that the problem also happens with QEMU. After investigating it for a while I have found that, indeed, QEMU also OOPSes but with a different behaivor. For example, QEMU works with latest 2.6.27-rc3, while virtualbox does not and both get OOPSes with 2.6.26-rc1 and reverting the DEBUG_RODATA commit makes no difference in QEMU, it still get OOPSes.
But the important news is that I have reported this upstream and there is a thread going on :) http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/20/359 -- Kernel panic during boot in VirtualBox with kernel 2.6.26.*-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
