Virtualbox 1.6 (the download from Sun, not the version in the repository) on Hardy.

Since the last kernel upgrade, running "Sun xVM VirtualBox" from the system menu results in a complete system freeze. The VirtualBox console does not appear, the keyboard and mouse do not respond (even to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or Alt+PrintScreen+REISUB). A forced power cycle of the PC is necessary to restart. This is having ran sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup after the kernel update.

Moved to Virtualization :)
