One symptom I've seen on both machines is that the network goes unresponsive for several seconds before recovering. If I run a ping, I see a pattern of 84-85s of responses, followed by about 41s of failures. The khvcd process consumes a lot of CPU - often 100% of a processor. Processes seem to randomly hang and are seemingly unrecoverable. I ran an apt-get install that never emitted any output, but remained hung until I rebooted the system. When I try to kill the hvc0 upstart job (sudo stop hvc0 - or a kill -9), the process does not die. One one of the two hosts, I observed the console getty (ttyAMA0) successfully starting, but never providing a login prompt to the console. Restarting this process didn't help solve the problem. Disabling the hvc0 upstart job and rebooting reliably makes these problems go away.
