Bug#527194: linux-image-2.6.26-2-vserver-amd64: system hangs running kvm
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-vserver-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-15
Severity: normal
When using the vserver enabled kernel, running kvm virtual private
servers cause the system to hang. On occasion, I saw error messages
about 120s timeouts similar to #517449, but most of the time the system
just freezes. While running a non-vserver kernel, 2.6.26-2-amd64, the
system has been stable. Also, 2.6.29-1-amd64 from sid is stable while
running kvm instances (and seems to perform better).
