Unable to install Guest Additions on Rocky Linux 9.1

[Téo Bouvard]

Hello,

I seem to be unable to install Guest Additions for a RHEL kernel, despite kernel-headers and kernel version matching, and using the latest release of Guest Additions.

Hi Téo,

I think this issue was recently fixed on the development branch. Could you please try one of the “Development snapshots” from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds?

Hello galitsyn,

I confirm that the issue is fixed in test build 7.0.97 (revision 155968), thanks for your quick reply.
