Seth Arnold, as per
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page? an update is
available for your BIOS (2.54). If you update to this, does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad T530 2359] Specific KVM instances lock my machine

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With my linux-generic package at 3.8.0.27.45 I had a lockup while
  running eight KVM instances; the soundcard continued to loop the
  little tiny sample of audio it was on.

  The only lines that made it to /var/log/kern.log:

  I've had ten or twelve KVM instances running before, it's a workload I
  know works.

  I was watching 'top' at the moment of the hang, and I still had over a
  gigabyte of cached and over a gigabyte of buffered memory available,
  so it wasn't as simple as running out of memory.

  Thanks
