Bug#1082157: virtualbox: does not start VMs with kernel 6.12

[Aaron Rainbolt]

It looks to me like this is fixed in the VirtualBox package in Sid:

    user@ks-build-d13:~$ apt-file find
    /usr/lib/modprobe.d/virtualbox-dkms.conf virtualbox-dkms:
    /usr/lib/modprobe.d/virtualbox-dkms.conf user@ks-build-d13:~$ cat
    /usr/lib/modprobe.d/virtualbox-dkms.conf #
    # In kernel 6.12, KVM initializes virtualization on module loading
    by # default. This prevents VirtualBox VMs from starting. In order
    to # avoid this, block loading kvm module by default.
    # (No need to do manually execute modprobe -r kvm_xxx and so on)
    # See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1082157
    #
    options kvm     enable_virt_at_load=0

I verified that I am able to launch a VirtualBox VM with the kvm and
kvm_intel modules loaded without adding any of my own modprobe or GRUB
configuration.

Should this bug be closed?
