Description
While installed kernel 6.12 on Fedora 41, no VM can be started:
VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: ConsoleWrap Interface: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}
Workaround is:
While root:
$ lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_intel 446464 0 kvm 1454080 1 kvm_intel
$ modprobe -r kvm_intel
Above helped. To disable kvm_intel kernel module....
but this kernel module is required for qemu, so this supposed by fixed
