Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker. The relevant code here is not my area of expertise, nevertheless a few questions: On 21.12.22 03:23, Kaiwan N Billimoria wrote: > [REGRESSION] ? > Testing with 6.1, I find the same issue - VirtualBox VMs seem to hang > on boot, though the kernel has this patch applied of course... Maybe I'm missing something, but what made you assume that it's the same issue? The fix for that issue talked about "garbage" in some structures that "can cause random failures during the bringup of the fbcon." Yeah, maybe that ca result in a hang, but I didn't see it that thread (but maybe I missed) > Am running VirtualBox 7.0.4 on an x86_64 Linux (Ubuntu 22.04.1) host; > the system hangs on boot with the screen > going blank. A bit more details would be helpful. For example: is anything printed at all before the system hangs? What's the last kernel that worked for you (and is the newer kernel using a similar build configuration)? Which graphics adapater did you configure in VirtualBox? Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
