Public bug reported: Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
the vboxdrv module has an occasional load error on karmic 2.6.30 kernels, Jul 12 07:13:17 crystaltree kernel: [ 28.053203] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently... Jul 12 07:13:17 crystaltree kernel: [ 28.053207] vboxdrv: NMI watchdog either active or at least initialized. Please disable the NMI Jul 12 07:13:17 crystaltree kernel: [ 28.053209] vboxdrv: watchdog by specifying 'nmi_watchdog=0' at kernel command line. This seems to affect virtualbox 2.2 and the 3. The error is due to vbox detecting the nmi_watchdog being active although it seems to be unpredictable for each boot and unaffected by adding nmi_watchdog=0 to the kernel. checking /proc/interrupts shows, $ less /proc/interrupts |grep NMI NMI: 0 0 Non-maskable interrupts $ apt-show-versions virtualbox-2.2 linux-image-2.6.31-2-generic linux-image-2.6.31-3-generic linux-image-2.6.31-2-generic/karmic uptodate 2.6.31-2.17 linux-image-2.6.31-3-generic/karmic uptodate 2.6.31-3.19 virtualbox-2.2/jaunty uptodate 2.2.4-47978_Ubuntu_jaunty Forum thread here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1209319 ** Affects: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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 -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
