@Willy1992, the binaries built successfully 2 hours ago (check pinned comment). Are you not using the configuration in the AUR package?

A few hours ago compiled succesfully 5.11-3, but 5.11-4 fails with:

kernel/sched/MuQSS.c:141:36: error: 'CONFIG_SHARERQ' undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean 'CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ'? 141 | static int rqshare __read_mostly = CONFIG_SHARERQ; / Default RQSHARE_MC / | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | CONFIG_SHMEM

I've installed this kernel a few minutes ago, but I can't get it to boot (I'm using GRUB, if that's relevant, and compressing the images with LZ4 -1). In GRUB, it doesn't pass the "Loading initial ramdisk ..." message, although the file is the correct place.

Binutils 2.36.1 should be released soon and the bug may be fixed there. I haven't checked, but if someone wants to, she/he should look through the sources.

@sir_lucjan thanks for the link, I will follow that bug.

I do use qemu/virtmanager as well but use Virtualbox sometimes for some specific old Win95/Win3.1 games and software as the integration is much better.

For now I can just use another kernel version for that until they've figured it out. Cheers.

I'm definitely not sure about that, which is why I wrote "probably" :) I haven't used VB for years so I personally haven't encountered this error.

Perhaps it will go better with virt-manager? It's also a GUI program, so there's always an alternative.

@sir_lucjan Are you sure about that? In my /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost you can see this:

In other words, for my other installed kernels the module it's been created.

Probably the bug has to do with the latest binutils. Similar problems occur on other kernels as well.

Same issue as Anarconda, the make.log says:

Usually vboxhost module is build correctly but with 5.10.14 series I'm getting this:

==> dkms install --no-depmod -m vboxhost -v 6.1.18_OSE -k 5.10.14-lqx2-1-lqx Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.10.14-lqx2-1-lqx (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/6.1.18_OSE/build/make.log for more information. ==> Warning, `dkms install --no-depmod -m vboxhost -v 6.1.18_OSE -k 5.10.14-lqx2-1-lqx' returned 10

What can I do? Thanks in advance.
