Kernel 2.6.18 race condition problem

Post by Technologov »

This page:
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes

says that kernels 2.6.18 have a race condition, that may prevent those OSes from booting as guests.

There are plenty of distros suffering from this problem, including Debian 4.0, openSUSE 10.2, ...

Somone:
Please give us, users, more information about that issue, and to what it is related, to CPU, to Hard Disk, to what... ? and why it works fine on real hardware ?
