Comment 2 for bug 1496438

I get the same error when i try to do the following:

Start ubuntu:wily image trough docker and have the kernel sources mounted in a ro mountpoint.
Use overlayfs to have a rw version of it:
mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=/linux-ro/,upperdir=/linux-up,workdir=/linux-work /linux
when i try to compile the kernel with make -j4 ... my system crashes after 1-2 sec

Host system is Archlinux with btrfs as filesystem.
