Virtualbox Linux drivers cannot be built with 5.11 kernel — at Initial Version

Reported by: cloudsw Owned by:
Component: host support Version: VirtualBox 6.1.18
Keywords: 5.11 kernel Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Linux

Description

Failed to rebuild drivers after installing 5.11 kernel:

$sudo vboxconfig vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services. vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services. vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules. vboxdrv.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vbox-setup.log to find out what went wrong.

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run

/sbin/vboxconfig

as root. If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
