[Solved] CentOS 7 latest lt kernel crash

After installing a fresh copy of CentOS 7 64-bit, I updated the kernel to the latest long-term support version (4.4.109). Very early on in the boot process a crash in the kernel occurs. The system does continue to boot. VirtualBox version 5.1.30 r118389. The stock kernel 3.10 does not show this crash. Below is the output of dmesg, starting from the top.
