Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
The SMP alternatives code (dmesg: SMP alternatives: switching to ...
code) present in this package is known to be buggy, and can potentially
crash the kernel if an interrupt occurs during the alternatives
patching. This does actually occur particularly often when the kernel
is running on a virtual machine. This bug has been fixed in the
mainline kernel (I believe somewhere around 2.6.18.3). Perhaps you
could backport the fix?
** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
