Re: kernel panic when trying to boot Fedora 10 live in VirtualBox

I would guess a virtualbox bug. The debug code enabled in the pre-release
kernels takes advantage of some of the more obscure cpu features that probably
get the least QA exposure. See if they know about it.
Of course, the reverse is also possible. We may not be properly handling an
obscure but legal interrupt configuration that is unique to virtualbox. Given
all the screwy hardware that gets baremetal testing, I find this unlikely,
unless other people are also having this problem on baremetal.
