you're using an older kernel version, upgrading should fix the issue

I don't think so. It's worth a try, though.

No. From repos. Everything from repos. I don't build anything, especially that big and complex.

Well, I need an LTS kernel. I know many ppl out there using even 4.9, 5.4 and 5.9 versions. Btw, my Debian box runs 6.1.34 with kernel 5.10 just fine.

Based on the report, can you boot Linux guests? As, I had no issue with either windows or linux guests, while testing this yesterday (after aplying the `-ffreestanding` patch.

Though, I do have the latest available kernel:
```
Void 5.18.11_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrrmFFFFFFFFFFFF
```

PS: There is always the change that there may have been an issue while updating, can you verify with `xbps-pkgdb` or reinstall the pkg.

So, should others apply this patch now too (those who have this problem)? Do I need to recompile virtualbox afterwards? Sorry, my machine is too old for that. I've tried xbps-src several times before but was always getting some errors and just don't have time to debug them :( I prefer binary stuff now because of work and too little spare time.

> can you verify with `xbps-pkgdb` or reinstall the pkg.

I've downgraded already. Here's the output of version [6.1.32](https://pastebin.com/MN4jN3QA) but you probably don't need it. Sorry again.

`xbps-pkgdb -a` reports nothing. All is well under the hood since I don't tweak my system at all. Simply not my hobby, just working.

Well, if it works for you doesn't mean it does for me (still, there is a ticket and other complaints on the Internet), but I can understand you and don't insist on the repo-wide downgrading. You may close this issue. I'm leaving it up to you, guys. I've downgraded already (thanks to some buddy with the version 6.1.32 in the /var/cache/xbps) and I'm relatively happy now. Sorry for taking your time. Probably there was some strange coincidence of already installed WinXP box and this upgrade. I just don't know. Thanks again for this awesome distro. Cheers!

No, the package should have that patch applied. We just don't know what's wrong in your case.

I was asking for the report with virtualbox 6.1.34.

>

Yes, there's a ticket reports that problem, but we built with the patch addressed it. If I'm not broke, I could recover my glibc machine to test it :(

@sgn Never mind. Virtualbox is now 6.1.36. Hope it is fixed. Will test as soon as Void updates it too.

Comment:
The bug is still here with version 6.1.36. It is even NOT fixed in 6.1.38. And it's not the Void's fault.
The problem is that no one can confirm this since the virtual machine **had to be created several versions ago**. And after that, upon upgrading VirtualBox itself, the issue appears. There is **no problem** if you create a **new virtual machine** with a **new version of VB**.
