virtualbox 7.1.4 can't run on kernel 6.12 on an AMD machine

Morning,

today I upgraded to kernel 6.12.arch1-1 and virtualbox-host-modules-arch 7.1.4-10 from testing and my virtualbox installation stopped working with the following error:

VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_SVM_IN_USE)

downgrading to kernel 6.11.9.arch1-1 and virtualbox-host-modules 7.1.4-9 solved the issue. AMD-V is enabled in BIOS and no BIOS settings were changed at all.

Any ideas?

Anybody can give it a test with Intel hardware? I guess it is the same there...

And anybody can try with boot parameter

kvm.enable_virt_at_load=0

? Guess that prevents the issue, not sure about side effects.

can confirm boot param works on amd, no obvious side effects from the outset.
