I'm running a kvm host Fedora23 with rawhide kernel on top of a skylake cpu - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6260U CPU @ 1.80GHz (family: 0x6, model: 0x4e, stepping: 0x3) As part of an experiment, I have enabled Nested virt support on the host and created a fedora23 guest with virt-manager using host-passthrough as the cpu model. The guest comes up fine and was updated without issues. Now if I install VirtualBox 5.0 and try to start a vm (fedora 23 again) I end up with a protection fault in the console (below) and the vm does not boot. A similar fault appeared when trying with a centos7.2 guest and a ubuntu vm but in that case just after the fault the guest reboots itself. What could be the problem here? Any help is very appreciated.
