Installed Vbox 6.1.30 and Extension Pack on an Oracle Linux 8.5 host x86 and when attempting to create a VM for the same Oracle Linux 8.5 release I receive the following error messages:
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel
for adding new hardware support to the system.
The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:
kernel-uek-devel kernel-uek-devel-5.4.17-2136.301.1.3.el8uek.x86_64

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root. If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
When I run /sbin/vboxconfig it just repeats the error.
When I check the kernel level:
[pstephenson@localhost-live Documents]$ uname -r
5.4.17-2136.301.1.3.el8uek.x86_6
I'm not sure what to do to correct this problem.

Re: Problem with VBOX 6.1.30 and Oracle Linux 8.5 Host
This is what you need to do:
BTW the same prerequisites are needed inside the VM for Guest Additions.
How this is done depends on the Linux flavor, but please see the manual, section 2.3.1 "Installing on Linux Hosts > Prerequisites"pwstephe wrote:Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel

Re: Problem with VBOX 6.1.30 and Oracle Linux 8.5 Host
So apparently VirtualBox 6.1.30 doesn't currently support the current level of Oracle Linux 8.5 guests without adding an older version of the kernel-headers. I'm surprised.
Thanks,
