hi all

from my vbox-setup.log in my attempt to upgrade from 6.x to 7.x on Kernel 4.19.312:

In file included from /tmp/vbox.0/include/iprt/assert.h:45,
                 from /tmp/vbox.0/include/VBox/sup.h:44,
                 from /tmp/vbox.0/SUPDrvInternal.h:49,
                 from /tmp/vbox.0/SUPDrv.c:43:
/tmp/vbox.0/include/VBox/vmm/hm_vmx.h:532:29: error: 'VMX_BF_EPT_PT_0_MASK' undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean 'VMX_BF_EPT_PT_READ_MASK'?
  532 | RT_BF_ASSERT_COMPILE_CHECKS(VMX_BF_EPT_PT_, UINT64_C(0), UINT64_MAX,
      |                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This person had the same problem with an EOL kernel but 4.19.x is not EOL: forums dot gentoo dot org/viewtopic-p-8771139.html?sid=95fd6a050da46395987dbb665746d030

So does Virtualbox 7.x support Linux kernel 4.19.x? If not, where can I find a list of supported kernels? It seems Oracle itself will not help with this: www dot virtualbox dot org/ticket/17055
