Same problem here.

Fails with Fedora 31 and Fedora 30 (oddly enough, Fedora 30 uses the same (failing) package that Fedora 31) ...

Do you specifically need version 6.1.4? If not, try using an older version:

Code: Select all

$ sudo yum install VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.2_135662_el8-1
You can check for other, older versions in from [://] download. [.] virtualbox [.] org [/] virtualbox [/] rpm [/] rhel [/] 8 [/] x86_64 (sorry for lame format, anti-spam filters do not allow me to post URLs :-/ )

I am also having problems installin VBox 6.1 in Centos 7.7. There might be a problem with the kernel.
