latest virtualbox 3.0.4-50677 add to SUPDrv-linux.c so that >= 2.6.31 kernels simply warn about nmi
/* 2.6.31+: The performance counter framework will initialize the LVTPC * vector as NMI. We can't disable the framework but the kernel loader * script will do 'echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid' * which hopefilly prevents any usage of hardware performance counters * and therefore triggering of NMIs. */ adding the attached patch vboxdrv dkms in virtualbox-ose-3.0.2-dfsg simply adds this warning too and allows the module to install instead of bail until package is upgraded ** Attachment added: "nmi_perf_counter.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29959054/nmi_perf_counter.patch -- vboxdrv occasionally fails to load on karmic 2.6.30 kernels due to active nmi_watchdog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
