Upgrading kernel from 5.7.6 to 5.7.7 breaks vbox guest additions

Hello!

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to address the issue, but I need at least a hint of how I can investigate further and fix the issue, sorry in advance smile
I'm running Arch as a virtual machine on VirtualBox 6.0.22
I've recently upgraded kernel and my guest additions stopped working.

On boot time I started to get next messages:

Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Failed to start vboxadd.service.
Failed to start vboxadd-service.service.

Services status:

In /lib/modules I have 2 kernel dirs, the output of their misc folder:

➜  ls -lah 5.7.6-arch1-1/misc
total 1.4M

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Jul  4 09:43 vboxsf.ko.xz

For some reason in newest kernel files are empty.
I have reinstalled vbox guests with 

sudo pacman -Rcns virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-dkms && sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-dkms

What could be the problem? Or I should just wait for an update of virtualbox-guest-dkms and virtualbox-guest-utils?

Thanks!

Re: Upgrading kernel from 5.7.6 to 5.7.7 breaks vbox guest additions

What was the output from pacman when you initially upgraded the kernel and after you reinstalled the virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-dkms (/var/log/pacman.log)
Also the output of

# dkms status

And tried to install linux headers (package was already present):

[2020-07-04T18:09:14+0300] [ALPM] running '70-dkms-install.hook'...

And I guess the problem is in dkms, it didn't rebuild modules after upgrade. But I'm unable to understand how to do it.
Dkms status gives no output at all

➜  sudo dkms status         
➜  sudo dkms autoinstall                 
➜  sudo dkms autoinstall -k 5.7.7-arch1-1

It worked only after I've installed deepin-anything-dkms, but autoinstall does not work anyway

➜  sudo dkms status                      
deepin-anything, 5.0.1, 5.7.7-arch1-1, x86_64: installed

Any ideas how I can trigger rebuild modules for new kernel?

Re: Upgrading kernel from 5.7.6 to 5.7.7 breaks vbox guest additions

Clean the old modules with DKMS

#dkms remove vboxsf/6.1.10_OSE -k 5.7.6-arch1-1
#dkms remove vboxsf/6.1.10_OSE -k 5.7.7-arch1-1

If that fails manually remove the directories /usr/lib/modules/5.7.6-arch1-1/misc plus /usr/lib/modules/5.7.7-arch1-1/misc along with their contents.
The virtualbox modules provided by the linux package should then be used but may mismatch with the host version of virtualbox.
If there is a mismatch and you can not upgrade to virtualbox 6.1.10 try dkms autoinstall again

# dkms autoinstall -k 5.7.7-arch1-1

Re: Upgrading kernel from 5.7.6 to 5.7.7 breaks vbox guest additions

Removed the files you mentioned.
Load-modules fail disappeared.
After that I installed virtualbox-guest-iso and run VBoxLinuxAdditions.sh (preliminary deleted /usr/sbin/vbox-greeter and /usr/sbin/vbox-uninstall-guest-additions to be able to start script)
VBoxLinuxAdditions.sh script run /sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup and it rebuilded guest additions for new kernel.

@loqs, thank you very much for your help!
