Description (last modified by )
After upgrading VBox from 5.0.32 to 5.1.18, startup of an Oracle Linux 5 guest shows the following on the guest console:
Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21. Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? Dazed and confused, but trying to continue. Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31. Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? Dazed and confused, but trying to continue.
These messages just keep scrolling, alternating between 'reason 21' and 'reason 31' until I finally stop the vm.

Can you tell use the exact Oracle Linux 5 kernel you're using in the guest?
Post the output of the following from the guest:
uname -a cat /etc/oracle-release
or if 'oracle-release' file doesn't exist, perhaps:
cat /etc/enterprise-release
