Bug? / Warning: VirtualBox 3.0.12 and kernel 2.6.31.6
Posted: 25. Nov 2009, 21:44
A warning from me to the community ...I use a self compiled kernel with kernel.org sources version 2.6.31.6 and VirtualBox version 3.0.12. Found this struggling bug.
Kernel boot failed with "BUG" message of a null pointer reference and some "OOPS" i do not remember of exactly.
It was the first time I had such problems with kernel. And yes I know, do not compile if you do not know what you are doing
