Details
Steps to reproduce:
- Using Virtualbox 6.1.14r140239 on Windows 10 host - Create a new virtual machine; give it a name, set type/version to Arch Linux (64-bit), leave everything else at the defaults, and click create - Start the new virtual machine. When it asks for a start-up disk, select archlinux-2020.10.01-x86_64.iso - Wait for it to boot. If the bug occurs (it reliably does for me) the virtual machine will crash with either a blank screen or a kernel stacktrace Other observations: - Screen recording from the VM is attached, showing the kernel crash - If you put module_blacklist=intel_rapl_msr on the kernel command line, it does not crash, and successfully boots to the login prompt |
This task depends upon

On further investigation, my virtual machine seems to be breaking
in other random ways (like memory is being corrupted) so if no one
can reproduce this I think we should blame my host and/or
VirtualBox rather than a kernel bug.
