Host lockup after update to 5.0.6

[Hal Flessner]

I updated to 5.0.6 this morning and after about a minute or two, the whole system locks up without using virtualbox once. I had 3 different kernels installed: 4.1.8 and 4.1.9 updated yesterday. During vbox update, it installed the dkms modules for 4.1.9 and after about a minute, my whole computer locked up. After reset, I went into 4.1.8 and everything was good there for an hour. So I ran "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" around a minute after the install completed, it locked up again. I uninstalled vbox then purged kernel 4.1.9 and reinstalled the kernel. Worked just fine. No lockups. Installed Virtualbox 5.0.6 and it locked up again after a minute. Switched to 5.0.2 as 5.0.4 is not in the older releases yet and I'm noticing a difference in the VBoxSVC.log files. I've attached them both.

Looks like you attached 5.0.6 log twice. Could you please attach 5.0.2 again?

[Hal Flessner]

I'm sorry. I think I may have jumped the gun filing this bug report. I was trying to get the log file and it locked up again with 5.0.2. Even after totally purging vbox from my computer, it locked up once. I think it's something on my end. Not sure what is going on because it was working fine last night and I'm not finding anything in any system logs. I'll try and figure this out and might set my whole day aside for a fresh install. Thanks for the willingness to help. You guys are awesome!

Please disregard this bug report. Turns out 4.1.9 is a problem for my system in general even when Virtualbox was purged. Updated to 4.2.3 and there are no problems. Thank you!
