18126,Guest linux fails to receive key input after X11 screen appears on resume from saved state.,ci-zephyurus,,"Hi,

I experienced an apparent hung of guest linux inside virtualbox 
5.2.20 r125813 
running under Windows 10.
After a saved state is resumed, the X11 screen is displayed and
there are teminal windows shown on it.
But when I try to type something to  a consle window nothing gets echoed back. Come to think of it, USB mouse does not respond at all.
I have to kill it (power down the guest OS).

Gesut linux version is Debian GNU/Linux kernel version: 
uname -a
Linux ip030 4.16.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.16.16-2 (2018-06-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have this apparent hung problem three times since I move the image from a XEON-based PC to AMD Ryzen 1700 PC about 10 days ago.

Is it possible that AMD Ryzen and guest linux may have some timing-related issue (like say, timer or counter not handled properly using hardware counter?)

I am asking because I also have a very starnage network adaptor hung (e1000 network card driver got hung). I have not seen this bug often during 5 or 6 years of using the image on a XEON-based PC.

While looking at dmesg output, I noticed that kernel says TSC is unstable or whatever: I am not sure what the message under XEON PC was.

Anyway,  I am attaching Vbox.log when the guest does not receive any input and I had to kill (power down the image). Maybe there might be a clue in there.
