It works fine for me - you probably failed to add it to the secure boot. It appears that every new kernel has a new signature - try it with secure boot disabled.

In VirtualBox Manager, for the machine Settings, System tab, Enable Secure Boot is unchecked, and Enable EFI is checked. Thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

The vbox kernel modules loaded OK. I'm not sure what is causing the problem. Did you try to start a VM during the time covered by that dmesg output?

The dmesg was taken immediately after a fresh boot (although following a hard reboot after VirtualBox froze the screen).

Is this a rev 11+ CPU? What does 'hwinfo --cpu' show for any one of the CPUs? If it is, then you may be hit by the ibt problem. Follow the instructions in https://forums.opensuse.org/t/virtualbox-fails-to-start-on-newest-cpus-with- 6-3-6-kernel-how-to-fix-until-oracle-finds-a-fix/166879 for a workaround.

If this does not resolve your problem, what symptoms are you seeing for kernel 6.3.6?

VirtualBox starts the manager fine, once the VM launch sequence is started the computer screen freezes and only a manual shutdown using the power button is possible I will investigate the ibt fix, however its strange that the previous kernel has no issues in launching a VM ... so it initially seems more like a kernel issue than a cpu-issue -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
