Virtualbox says kernel not supported

Support Virtualization
1

I did an update and then installed the suggested 5.19 kernel.
Now when I launch VirtualBox I get a message that the kernel is unsupported and I should uninstall it.
I rebooted twice.
VirtualBox Graphical User Interface Version 6.1.36 r152435

That goes without saying… But then again, maybe it doesn’t… :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Now it is aborting without the above error, but can be solved by enabling USB 1 (not USB 2 or UBS 3)

However, I believe I have the right extension pack installed
6.1.36-1

So I am puzzled

I downloaded the extension pack from the Virtualbox website, and it works, whereas what I had before did not work right. So this issue is solved, even though I don’t exactly understand why.
