Using virtualbox 6.1.34 with kernels 5.17.12-300.fc36.x86_64 and 5.17.13-300.fc36.x86_64 results in many errors and major corruption of linux and windows guests whereby they must be restored from backups.
The last kernel that i know that worked with virtualbox is 5.17.11-300.fc36.x86_64.
This is true for both the RPMFUSION distributed virtualbox and the oracle distributed virtualbox.
Errors in guests are widespread and non deterministic (repeating boot results in different errors). many systemd services crashing. systemd itself sometimes failing early during boot. rpm database corruption which seems not reparable.
booting the damaged guests with a working virtualbox configuration shows they are very damaged.
This seems 100% reproducible at will and certainly tracks with kernel version.
Hi k1kwp,
This ticket is a duplicate of #20914. Kernels you've mentioned are also affected. Please refer to https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20914#comment:15.
