Guys,
kernel26-2.6.37.5-1 running in a virtualbox vm is causing a kernel crash on shutdown. The full screen of the crash is here:

The Call Trace: shows the likes of:
shrink_dcache_for_unmount_subtree shrink_dcache_for_unmount generic_shutdown_super <snip>
I'm not great at reading the screens, so if you are interested in the full error, it is shown in the link about.
Has anyone else found a workaround?

Are you sure it's a kernel bug? Your screen says segmentation fault in umount, so there must be some bug in that tool, not linux. Also, if the kernel panicks, the system won't shutdown at all. BTW, I recommend using png files instead of jpg. :)
