Folks, Just as an update, this is affecting anyone that wants to use VirtualBox with kernel 5.4 and 5.5, when it is just downloaded from the kernel repository.

You can see more activity at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=96297. Virtualbox maintainers have also confirmed the above and closed the bug as it is not something they control. See https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19244 for their response.

I am not sure if there is a different place to post this to get other visibility, as the header of this report mentions an RC build, but this is happening in any released 5.4 kernel, as well as 5.5.

Thanks.
