akmods is a system that *dynamically* recompiles a kernel module when a new module is installed. This means that virtual box has a kernel module used for virtualization that isn't accepted in the kernel sources itself. This means that everytime a new kernel is installed on your system it needs to compile the module from source code. If the kernel has changed any function that the virtual box module uses, it won't compile. That is why everyone says this is not a Fedora issue. The virtualbox package and akmod have a version of the kernel module that is no longer compatible with a newer kernel which is why it fails to compile with the newer kernel. You'd have the same problem on any distro until virtualbox comes out with a newer version that is compatible with the newer kernel. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
