Guest Additions 7.0.16 fail to compile on CentOS Stream 8 for kernel 4.18.0-500.el8.x86_64

[frazar]

Expected behavior:

• Install VBox 7.0.16 on a Linux host
• Boot a "CentOS Stream 8" guest with kernel 4.18.0-500.el8.x86_64
• Insert Guest Additions image through the UI
• Allow auto-run of the installer script
• Installation completes successfully

Actual behavior:

• Installation fails while compiling kernel modules. The logs are attached, with the first error being:

In file included from /tmp/vbox.0/hgsmi_base.c:27:
/tmp/vbox.0/vbox_drv.h:172:11: fatal error: drm/ttm/ttm_bo.h: No such file or directory
 # include <drm/ttm/ttm_bo.h>

Hi frazar,

I see no issue with kernel 4.18.0-552.el8. Please consider updating kernel.
