SOLVED Virtualbox & linux-5.18 problem

Hi there,

I upgrade kernel to 5.18, and found Windows 10 installed in virtualbox crashes all the time.

In other words, virtualbox can start up without problem, but when I startup virtual operating system installed in virtualbox the OS crashes.

I also tried install a Windows OS fresh new, unfortunatelly the install procedure also crashed ...

Down grade to  linux-5.17.8.arch1-1 && virtualbox-host-modules-arch 6.1.34-8 resolved problem.

I saw there is a comment `Replaces virtualbox-guest-modules-arch, wireguard-arch` at this page: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/, maybe there is some problem with these modules ...

Is there a known issue to linux-5.18 ?

Seems the same bug as I met ...

So current method to avoid this bug is one of:

* So wait for virtualbox-6.1.35-151573
* Or down grade linux & virtualbox-host-modules-arch to the proper version

FYI, I've asked about another option at that bug report

Re: SOLVED Virtualbox & linux-5.18 problem

I'm affected by the same problem and due to this I have avoided upgrading to kernel 5.18 till now. Today I have seen that virtualbox 6.1.36 is finally available, so I upgraded

linux (5.18.13.arch1-1 => 5.17.9.arch1-1)
linux-headers (5.18.13.arch1-1 => 5.17.9.arch1-1)
virtualbox (6.1.36-1 => 6.1.34-3)
virtualbox-host-modules-arch (6.1.36-2 => 6.1.34-8)

and the same problem occurred, nothing worked anymore until I reverted the upgrade.

So what am I missing here?
I thought virtualbox > 6.1.34 should solve the issue?

Re: SOLVED Virtualbox & linux-5.18 problem

So no clue or no solution?

I have no problems sticking to kernel 5.17.9 for the time being, as long as everything works, but the hope for a resolution by virtualbox >= 6.1.35 wasn't fruitful, so what to wait for now for not having to try and revert again and again?

Same thing with kernel 5.19.5-arch1-1. Despite the patch given above in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74900 is included in virtualbox-6.1.36

I use downgrade to install

linux 5.17.8.arch1-1
linux-headers 5.17.8.arch1-1
virtualbox 6.1.36-1

and it works.

No one has posted the kernel messages from the virtualbox crash.  So how do you know you have the same issue as each other and how are others supposed to help?

Me to, though that's not a solution but only a workaround.

Because it's the exact same error?
