Ok, now first time when I started VM I was able to start system
successfully. When I turned it off and started it again, it restarted my
vm at system boot couple of times. Sometimes I also get very high cpu
usage for no reason. Also, I get less fps in GTA 5 than in kernel 4.1, I
get something like 30-55, but on 4.1 I get all the time 60 fps. This is
my new log: https://bpaste.net/show/61a122ad7fe5
