Hello everybody, First of all, I don't know if this is the most appropriate place to report this. If not, I apologize in advance. But I thought it would be better to discuss this in some Debian mailing list instead of just reporting a bug.
I'm running Debian Testing and, since upgrading from kernel 3.2.35-2 to kernel 3.2.39-2 a few days ago, I've been having some soft lockup issues which bring my machine to an almost complete freeze (I'm still able to access it through ssh). The kind of error messages I'm getting (extracted from dmesg) are shown at the end of this email. If this is in fact a good place to discuss this, please let me know what kind of information I need to provide in order to help pinpoint what the problem is. I can say, however, that to me the problem seems to be related to Virtualbox: every time the problem happened was a little after launching Virtualbox. Thank you, Adriano Output of uname -a: Linux arsenal 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.39-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux Dmesg messages: [518178.318133] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#4 stuck for 23s!
