For work reasons, I need to run a VMware VM and pass through a USB device (guest OS is ubuntu 16.04 IIRC), now this worked fine, but at some point booting the machine caused the entire host to freeze,
blocking even TTY access.
I did some testing and found that it happens on latest and LTS kernel, but not if vmware-usbarbitrator is not running. With the arbitrator running (which I obviously need) a crash happens every time.
My entire system is fully updated, including vmware player. I had a look around the web and found advice regarding transparent hugepages, but even disabling that entirely did not help.
Any help or experiences are greatly appreciated.
