[Niall Riddell]

type sudo modprobe vhci_hcd into a terminal and Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64 hangs. Requires reboot.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Enabling the module in a VM (also running Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64) allowed me to capture the kernel panic that occurs. Only as an image though (please refer to the attachment).
