This isn't Fedora blocking anything, this is a problem with the module.
From what I've found. Works fine with Previous kernel with
Module? But information shows that latest kernel has Fedora
restricking access to only KVM, so VirtualBox can not work with
the restriction??
What information? That doesn't make sense.
So, module can't build because of restriction Fedora just installed?
Perhaps they will find a way to get around issue with an update.
So, works with 6.18.16 but fails with 6.19.6, so only change is
Fedora Kernel. So currently have to boot with 6.18.16 to have it
work?
So change in 6.19.6 causes problem.
That's more likely to be a kernel change that the module needs to be
adjusted for.
And again, why aren't you just using the supplied VM anyway instead of
trying to make virtualbox work?
