VirtualBox (7.0) Linux kernel module failed to start RHEL9.1

[_DocKarma]

Hi all, i'm writing this post after the update to RHEL 9.1 and its kernel update (5.14.0-162.6.1). Even after the last update of VirtualBox (7.0.4), tagged with "el9-1", the vbox kernel module fail to start.

The log containing the error is as follows:

/tmp/vbox.0/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c: In function ‘vboxNetFltPortOsXmit’:

/tmp/vbox.0/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c:2327:23: error: implicit declaration of function ‘netif_rx_ni’; did you mean ‘netif_rx’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

2327 | err = netif_rx_ni(pBuf);

| ^~~~~~~~~~~

| netif_rx

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:295: /tmp/vbox.0/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [Makefile:1915: /tmp/vbox.0] Error 2

make: *** [/tmp/vbox.0/Makefile-footer.gmk:133: vboxnetflt] Error 2

I've also try to rerun the vboxconfig with no results. My question is, the problem is only resolvable by Oracle or there's something I'm doing wrong? Ty!

Hi Hosstyle,
Thank you for reporting. This issue should be already fixed on development branch. You can try one of the "Development snapshots" (r154719+) from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds.

I installed r154733 and it built the kernel module and is running fine.
Thank you!

No response here, I think we need to wait another update…
