Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

I hav the similar problem like in the log above:
[ 50.656816] vboxdrv: Found 4 processor cores.
[ 50.656902] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa10ebd00
with 2.6.37-9 and 2.6.37-10

[Mingming Ren (portis25)]

From virtualbox forum, a virtualbox developer gives some information:

The reason is CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y which we currently do not support.

http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=37150

[Mathieu Bérard (mathieu-berard)]

Comfirmed:
Rebuilding the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=n fixes the BUG here.

[Mingming Ren (portis25)]

Also a bug of virtualbox has been filed :

http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7827

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

This bug is not present when using VirtualBox 4.0

[zzeroo (zzeroo)]

No that's not true. Even with Virtualbox 4.0.0_BETA3r68940 and Kernel 2.6.37-11-generic the error is present.

I think we must wait until CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is supported ...

[penalvch (penalvch)]

C de-Avillez, this bug was reported a while ago, there hasn't been any activity in it recently, and the upstream bug report notes it has been fixed in virtualbox 4.0. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
