https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/38967

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 5.18.19_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrFFFFFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

virtualbox-ose-6.1.36_1, virtualbox-ose-dkms-6.1.36_1

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

VMs start normally.

### Actual behaviour

The VM window briefly appears and disappears, followed by the error window:

```
The VM session was aborted.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}

This happens for Linux, Windows 7, and Window 10 VMs.

Reverting to 6.1.34 fixes it.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Start VirtualBox
2. Start an existing VM

I have the same problem on 7.0.4. Machines to start, but cannot be shut down properly, only way is to kill the process.

Segfaults in `dmesg` similar to above (`EMT-0[16682]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f68f5c4db7f sp 00007f68d24f8868 error 4 in libc.so.6[7f68f5b7d000+f7000] likely on CPU 3 (core 4, socket 0)`), and cannot enable the vboxservice:

    sudo ln -s /etc/sv/vboxservice /var/service/
    sudo sv start vboxservice
    timeout: down: vboxservice: 1s, normally up, want up

Comment:
Please reopen this issue, as it still happens after upgrading to 7.0.4. None of my VMs start, with the same segfault error mentioned above. I'm on Linux 6.1.7.

@gtryujb Just because it suddenly works for you, it doesn't mean that it works for others, as you can see from this thread. Also, sharing what you did to fix the issue would be helpful...

Downgrading to VirtualBox 6.1.36 now shows a driver version mismatch, even though DKMS seems to have built the module when downgrading. Running `xbps-reconfigure -f virtualbox-ose-dkms` does nothing.

![2023-01-31-150640_750x365_scrot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1009277/215783721-46b906ea-c7e8-4bf4-9e73-4ccb2b2adc37.png)

There's no `/sbin/vboxconfig` binary, nor anywhere else on my system. :sweat:

Please advise. This is a major issue that shouldn't go unnoticed.
