Looking further it seems that the root cause is that the CIRRUS driver cannot be used in 12.04.3 because of this [ 579.647] (EE) cirrus: The PCI device 0xb8 at 00@00:02:0 has a kernel module claiming it. [ 579.647] (EE) cirrus: This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded. It seems

And has anyone tested this with a real Cirrus Logic graphic card? I still wonder if this is an emulation bug in qemu or a driver problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080674 Title:

Sergey, thank you very much for the summary. From what I can see all patches made it to the stable kernel since 2.6.34, but not the third patch virtio_net: Add schedule check to napi_enable call. Am I right with that? That might be a reason why I still see the issue with recent kernels (2.6.34+).
