Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you; the affected system is
my main work computer, so I can't just go rebooting it constantly, and
I've been busy with other things.
In any event, I'm afraid I haven't had much luck with these newer
kernels. The bottom line is that to get the VirtualBox modules
installed, I need the linux-headers-{version}-generic package, and for
these newer kernels, that package depends on libssl1.1 or greater; but
the 16.04 I'm using ships with libssl1.0, and I'm unwilling to upgrade
that package and risk far greater (and worse) problems or a return to
the old "dependency hell" issues of the 1990s.
If I get the chance, I may try installing bionic on a removable drive
and try to reproduce the problem in that way.

Title:
System hang with Virtualbox & kernel 4.13.0-32-generic
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Artful:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Some (maybe all) kernels in the 4.13.0 series are hanging with
Virtualbox on my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop. When I try to launch a
Virtualbox VM, the VM's window appears, clears to black, and then the
mouse freezes. I do NOT see any BIOS/EFI information or boot loader in
the VM; the hang occurs before those messages appear. (I've tried this
with the VM set for both BIOS and EFI booting with no difference.) The
host computer also stops responding to pings or anything else; the
only solution seems to be to do a cold reset. I've tested this on a
different computer running the same kernel and the latest Ubuntu 18.04
alpha and had no problems there. Here's some data from the affected
computer:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 4.13.0-32.35~16.04.1-generic 4.13.13
$ dpkg -s virtualbox | grep Version
Version: 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2
This problem does NOT occur with earlier kernels, such as those in the 4.4.0
series.
