The crux of the problem is this, (1) the src files installed on the host in /usr/src/vboxhost-6.1.14_non_OSE/ are patched for 5.9.1, (2) the files src that get installed on the guest to /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.1.14/src/vboxgues-6.1.14/ to build the extension modules are not (they are still dated Sept. 4, 2020). I guess this is the guest-additions src problem effecting the extension module build? The patch file used to build the updated virtualbox 6.1.14 from AUR with Linux 5.9.1 is: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/021-kernel-5.9.patch?h=virtualbox-bin So would the guest additional files also need to same patch so when VBoxLinuxAdditions.run is run the patched files are present for the extension module build on the guest? -- David C.
