VirtualBox compiling wrong kernel

Good Afternoon,

The error is

At one point my Fedora 23 device did have 4.2.3 kernel installed, but no more.

Currently running kernel, 4.4.2-301.fc23.x86_64+debug

The solution was that I was accidentally running a debug kernel, and I don't have debug-devel kernel packages installed. I switched to the non-debug kernel and it installed beautifully.

uname -r
