Bug Description

Ubuntu 21.04 with VirtualBox 6.1.18-dfsg-5 and binutils 2.36.
Please update package to 6.1.20 or newer:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20178
https://github.com/xanmod/linux/issues/125
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263393

I can't build my own kernel, because Vbox and dkms does not like binutils 2.36.

Looks good so far. I build a kernel package and installed it.

I got a problem with Vbox itself:

"Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=100 uid=1000 gid=100) (rc=-10)
Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.
where: SUPR3HardenedMain what: 2 VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED (-10) - Permission denied."

and "NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)"

So I removed 6.1.22-dfsg-2~ubuntu1.21.04.1 and install stock Vbox with a patchfile...
