The kernel from stable works because it doesn't attempt to use the pvclock interface. Unfortunately really isn't enough information logged for me to tell for sure. Could you test with Linux 2.6.36 in both host and guest? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
