GA 5.0.24 Auto-resize not working after security update on Oracle Linux

I have a Oracle linux 6.8 guest on a Windows 7 host with GA 5.0.24 installed. Recently I performed a Yum update which brought the OS up to 6.8. GA was working fine and then an available security update was installed. After this install, restart, GA 5.0.24 reinstall, restart, the auto-size feature no longer works. All other features are working.

There is an error in the boot.log "/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device", I can clear that error by removing a couple mounts from the fstab file.

The following error is in the vboxadd-install.log

grep: /lib/modules/4.1.12-37.5.1.el6uek.x86_64/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= -C /lib/modules/4.1.12-37.5.1.el6uek.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 modules
test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \
echo >&2; \
echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
echo >&2 ; \
/bin/false)

I tried reinstalling GA multiple times without any success. Any help solving this would be appreciated.

The snippet you posted is nothing other then the code running. Post the complete /var/log/vboxadd-install.log so we can take a look.
