[arch-general] [VirtualBox] Sudden reboots and freezes with latest kernel

[PT M.]

Yes I experanced the same situation yesterday.

I ran /etc/rc.d/vbox setup and then reboot, seemed resolved. Except that of
of my vm in a saved session can no more resotre, i have to discard and boot
as fresh, not hurting much.
