I have been struggling to reproduce these output-sync failures for a few weeks now and I'm about to give up in frustration. I can't even get past the first step. It would be good to know whether you are testing CentOS Sream 8 or 9. I am not able to install CentOS Stream 9 in VirtualBox and get the guest additions to work so I can mount a shared partition. Half the time it freezes halfway through the install, and if it does go through the guest additions fail to compile their kernel modules (mismatched Linux kernel headers). I tried CentOS Stream 8 and after a couple of tries was able to get this to work: even though I still get compile errors in kernel modules it does build the shared folder module and I can mount it... but GNU make check runs fine and I see none of the output-sync errors reported. I tried to install Solaris 11 OpenIndiana from an OVA file in VirtualBox and I was able to get it to install but couldn't figure out how to install a C compiler on it. I tried to install GNU/Hurd and had the issues I reported before: it just hangs on initial boot on my home system. I was able to get it to boot and see the problem on my work system, but after a few weeks of trying to find time to work on this while at work I've totally failed to do so. I have little hope of this changing. I've tried all the above with both the default VirtualBox 6 that is the default for my Ubuntu system, and also with VirtualBox 7.0.6 that I downloaded from Oracle. I don't have access to AIX at all, but Dmitry says he can't reproduce the problem there either.
