Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.11 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

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
