[VB User22]

After upgrading RHEL 9.0 to 9.1, existing 6.1.6 and 7.0.4 both failed building kernel module.

Logged errors:

Any help is appreciated

The issue seems to only happen with the newer kernel. kernel-5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1.x86_64.

The older kernel, such as kernel-5.14.0-70.30.1.el9_0.x86_64, works fine.

I'd suggest to create a ticket in the Bugtracker.
