Same here with Debian Trixie, 7.2.10 cause a Kernel Panic (something about Interupts, need to take a picture of the screen).
Updated today.
Kernel 7.0.10+deb14-amd64

Tried to reinstall, same thing.

Same problem!

Kernel Panic immediately after attempting to start any virtual machine using kernel 7.0.12 or 7.1_rc7.

Machine: Dell XPS 9710
OS: Debian Unstable
Kernel: Linux myXPS 7.0.12-1-liquorix-amd64 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT liquorix 7.0-13.1~sid (2026-06-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux

FWIW I'm seeing the same problem using the RPM Fusion version of VirtualBox on Fedora 44 running kernel-7.0.13-200.fc44.x86_64.

Intel NUC NUC13ANHi7 (NUC13ANHi7000) (rev N11225-207) 1 x 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1360P
Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 04)

So also Raptor Lake although probably just a coincidence.
