Bug Description
With Ubuntu 16.04, I get frequent kernel panic crashes in my Linux KVM guest. After notifying the hosting company the machine was migrated to a different physical host which didn't fix the problem. A complete reinstall of Ubuntu 16.04 also didn't fix anything. Therefore, I suspect some sort of bug in the kernel and not a hardware fault or a corrupted install.

The kernel panic itself locks up the system instantly and therefore no logging to disk happens of that error. Therefore, see the attached screenshot of the qemu screen after the crash.
