[Bug 246067] Re: Kernel panic during boot after upgrading to kernel 2.6.26.3-generic

[Scott Wegner]

I'm also able to boot without any problem.  I'm using VirtualBox 1.6.2
(not OSE), with x86 Hardy alpha 2, kernel version 2.6.26-4.  I do have
"VT-x/AMD-V" enabled, and I believe I also was able to boot alpha 1
with this option as well.

I'm not home this weekend, so I won't be able to test with VT-x/AMD-V
off.  If nobody else has responded by late Sunday, I can give it a
try.
