I uninstalled both virtualbox and the modules package and used the AUR package virtualbox-bin. The same vm then sprang into life.

The log file /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log may contain further information.
Press Return to close this window...
of course the log says only this and no more.
2: I can run an XP 32 bit guest, but it takes a long time to boot, much longer than on my Ubuntu Machine.
3: When I try to launch the arch ISO, I get the splash screen then when it boots it gets to a point then kernel panics and freezes
However this is solved so far. I use the AUR package from now.

Is virtualbox-guest-iso installed? If not install it and try again.
Also if you don't have any working VMs yet, you can delete your ~/.config/Virtualbox directory (make a copy first so you can revert to it just in case) then run virtualbox again for it to create a new one. There might be some faulty settings there from your initial setup virtualbox keeps reading.
See how that goes.
Uninstall the virtualbox-host-dkms you installed earlier in case you haven't. You don't need that for this kernel.
One obvious question, have you checked if Virtualization is enabled in your BIOS?
Have you checked if the modules are loaded?
virtualbox-host-dkms is uninstalled, Intel Virtualization Technology is enabled and modules are loaded.

Is there anyone who knows how to debug this error?
And why VirtualBox claims I have a tainted kernel?
]]>error: package 'virtualbox-host-modules-arch' was not found
virtualbox-host-dkms 6.1.2-1
linux 5.4.14.arch1-1
There is a big mis-match between your linux version and your virtualbox-host-modules that's why you are getting this error. And do you need virtualbox-host-dkms for this kernel? Again I refer you to the wiki.
What I would suggest now is to completely uninstall everything virtualbox you've installed so far, update your linux and system first and then go through the virtualbox host installation parr of the wiki. Then check all the host modules are running then create a virtualbox guest and follow the wiki for that section.
Also post the contents archlinux_2020-1-1.vbox. There has got to be something that crashes the guest the moment you start it. Did you go through the Troubleshooting section on the Wiki?
You can increase and collect more verbose log details using VirtualBox itself (VBoxManage debugvm): read https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch12. … debug-info

I created the guest using the graphical interface like ever. I'm using VirtualBox since a few years and never had a problem. I reinstalled my Arch system (host), since then it doesn't work
]]>$ pacman -Q {virtualbox,virtualbox-host-modules-arch,virtualbox-host-dkms,linux,linux-headers}
$ lsmod | grep vbox
$ dmesg | grep vbox
Also, as I've asked twice already, describe how you built the guest - what settings did you use and how did you create it (UI, command line, etc.)? I'm not asking about the ISO, I'm talking about the guest instance settings.
]]>I tested it with both packages virtualbox-host-dkms and virtualbox-host-modules-arch
It's not clear. Are you on an Arch host trying to create a virtualbox Arch guest?
Yes. But it isn't working for any other image either.
