"a while ago" indeed.

Currently running: 12.10 on 3.5.0-40-generic with vbox 4.2 (Installed:
4.2.18-88780~Ubuntu~quantal) where this problem definitely does not
exist.

Title:
  Kernel 2.6.32-11 fails to boot using VirtualBox

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” source package in Lucid:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Using Virtualbox OSE [version: 3.0.8_ose r53138]
  Fresh install of Lucid, Alpha 2.
  Running kernel: 2.6.32-10.14 generic
  Ran all updates (ca. 170+) including kernel update to 2.6.32-11.15
  Rebooted, screen "GRUB loading" appears, then - nothing, only black screen, (virtual) machine is frozen
  Holding shift key, does show grub menu (otherwise not starting) and 2.6.32-10 still boots fine
  Choosing 2.6.32-11 recovery mode, shows:

    ] CPU supports 0 MCE banks
    ] using mwait in idle threads
    ] Performance Events: unsupported p6 CPU model 15 no PMU driver, software events only.
    ] Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK

  Booting in 2-6.32-10 kernel, succeeds, but dmesg shows

    ] weird, boot CPU (#0) not listed by the bios.
    ] Brought up 1 CPUs
    ] CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain

  and further booting process.

  What is holding back the 32-11 version to boot?
