Hi,

My Devuan workstation's specification:
AMD FX-6100 processor
DDR3 8 GB memory
Radeon 3000 onboard graphics card
ASUS mATX graphics card.
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212
Built year: 2012

I wanted to run Android-x86 6.0 on a virtual machine. After trying to install three versions of VirtulBox, the oldest version 4.3 from wheezy-backports was successful with kernel 3.16. Out of nine combinations, I managed to find one working one fortunately: 3.16 kernel with virtualbox 4.3.

4.8 and 4.9 kernels had module build failure.

Building only for 4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
Building initial module for 4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (x86_64
)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.3.36/build/make.log for more information.

5.x from jessie, jessie-backports had installation failure due to kernel module build error. 5.1 from Oracle repository installed alright. It complained missing QT library when it starts. I spent few hours to troubleshoot about "xcm" related error that had been fixed on other distributions.

qemu freezes often and has sluggish performance both framebuffer mode or Xorg mode.
