We had to patch VirtualBox 6.0.12 as well. Probably you need something like this: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/015-linux-5-3.pa... -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}

Thank you Christian and Ralf, I'll see if I can draw from that and make things work. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Also, apparently Virtualbox.org has fixes available in their test-builds page: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds The bug (mine was a duplicate of) that they are working both the 6.x and 5.x kernel issue through is: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18911 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
virtualbox-bin from AUR is already patched with a fix. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=virtualbox-bin&id=83f1870f15d86179a665dc0c6b36815a385f6fbe You could try to adapt it to your virtualbox-bin-5 tarball from AUR without much editing... $ wget -q https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/virtualbox-bin{,-5}.tar.gz $ tar xf virtualbox-bin.tar.gz; tar xf virtualbox-bin-5.tar.gz $ diff -r virtualbox-bin virtualbox-bin-5 [snip] ...perhaps you have good luck. Sometimes patches apply with an offset and work out of the box.

You could try to adapt it to your virtualbox-bin-5 tarball from AUR without much editing...
$ wget -q https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/virtualbox-bin{,-5}.tar.gz $ tar xf virtualbox-bin.tar.gz; tar xf virtualbox-bin-5.tar.gz $ diff -r virtualbox-bin virtualbox-bin-5 [snip]

Thank you Ralf, I have the kernel modules building with a combination of the following patches: 009-include-path.patch 015-linux-5-3.patch The 013-Makefile patch must be specific to 6.X as on 5.2.32 is throws an error: Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Skipping patch. Still have testing, but it looks promising. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I updated virtualbox-bin-5 and it builds and runs with 5.2.X & 5.3. However I forgot to add a patch to the git repo before pushing and now I can't figure out how to undo (I have since added the patch to git). The error is: git push Enumerating objects: 10, done.

I got it sorted, I just reset to head and did the commit again after adding the new file. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi, it seems to be the same for 6.0.12. However, I tested it on September 16. when the kernel still was in 'staging' [1].
