Windows Guest Additions cause Linux host to crash

Description
When I install Guest Additions on my clean-build Windows 10 guest, the host crashes when the guest boots (approx. 5s after the windows logon screen appears).
Host OS: Oracle Linux 8.5, kernel: 5.4.17-2136.306.1.3.el8uek.x86_64 Guest OS: Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (19044.1708)
The guest is stable without GA installed and the host also runs a number of Linux guests with GA installed with no issue. Neither the host nor Linux guests have X installed.
I have tried the following config changes for the Windows guest but these do not resolve the problem:
- Use graphicscontroller VBoxVGA
- Use graphicscontroller VBoxSVGA
- Use mouse ps2
- Use BIOS firmware
- Disable USB
- Disable audio
- Disable hpet
- Disable vrde
Configuration below, log of post-install boot attached:

Hi techpost,
What exactly is crashing? Entire host (i.e., kernel panic) or VM process?
comment:2 by , 3 years ago
Hi galitsyn
Entire host crashes so kernel panic. I don't have a kdump as I disable usually but can reproduce with kdump enabled if that will help?
I should also add that this bug is only present when running the guest on the linux host. If I install GA on a clone of the same guest running on a Windows 10 host & VBox 6.1.34, the guest operates perfectly.

That would be quite helpful.

Sorry about the delay, having trouble with kdump on my host, a common problem with name storage apparently! Will try and get this working next week and attach a dump file.

Hi - unfortunately I've not been able to get kdump to work so can't produce a core dump. I have found that occasionally the guest will boot and hang without causing the host to kernel panic (no config changes, just luck it would seem). Log file attached of this happening today, the same guest works perfectly prior to installing GA.
