Hi deltree,

VirtualBox 6.1.26 does not support 5.14+ kernels. We added support later when kernel was released. Could you please try one of the Latest 6.1.x test builds from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds (for example https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-6.1.27-147118-Linux_amd64.run)?

Please note, if you would like to run Linux guest with 5.14+ kernel, you will also need to update Additions to the latest test build.

[galitsyn]

Hi deltree,

So far I cannot reproduce the issue. Could you please attach complete dmesg output (as a file) and VBox.log if you have it?

[deltree]

files are attached

[galitsyn]

Hi deltree,

Do you see the issue when Secure Boot is disabled? Do you remember when the issue started to appear? Way it after host kernel update or after VBox update to a certain version or both? Did you have Secure Boot enabled when VBox was working for you?

[deltree]

VBox version was the same, only kernel was changed. I didn't touch secure boot. Will check.

[galitsyn]

Hi deltree,

Do you still see the issue with 6.1.30?
