Bug Description
I recently upgraded an ubuntu VM from 16.04.1 to 18.04.1 running on XenServer 7.1. The upgrade itself was fine, but several kernel updates after the upgrade have caused the VM to fail to boot. All kernels that fail to boot seem to be from 4.15. Current, the latest kernel I've tried is 4.15.0-38, though, day-to-day I'm running a 4.4 kernel since the VM is necessary to my environment.
The error message on boot is:
unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0xc90 at rIP: 0xffffffff9806c04a (native_
The trace is attached as a screenshot. I haven't been able to get a log containing the output.
