But to add a bit more info from my previous report, running the stock Debian 9 4.9 kernel from jessie-backports in an up-to-date VM on the stable track throws the same BadAccess error in the guid log as the 4.9 coldkernel does, so anyone who wants to test that can easily replicate it by spinning off a new Debian 8 kernel and installing linux-image-amd64 from jessie-backports; no need to compile and install a 4.9 coldkernel to test for the failure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
