You have to reboot the host to get the kernel module to load.

Do you mean just reboot your mac? I have the same problem, tried rebooting mac and still had same problem, also tried allowing full disk access that didn't work either?mpack wrote:You have to reboot the host to get the kernel module to load.

Have you tried the proposed 'solution' discussed in tis thread: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=98763&start=75
Sorry, can't offer any personal experience, as I have VirtualBox 6.1.16 working fine on 2 separate Big Sur installations and haven't experienced any problems with installation or running VMs.

Re: Virtualbox doesn't run on MacOs 11 Big Sur
Did you re-install Virtual Box following the system upgrade?
Having gone through this myself:
- Install Virtual Box
- In System Preferences -> Authorise application from Oracle America
- Restart
- Start Virtual Box & a VM
- Take heed of the change needed in system preferences for key strokes
You can see here too: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/539 ... -installed
From what I can tell this is due to extra security that has been added around kernel level drivers.
