Okay, Here is/was the deal. Archlinux had issues with it's dkms package. There were multiple updates upstream and Arch follows upstream. The packages updated and dates were: [2021-08-31T02:51:33-0500] [ALPM] upgraded dkms (2.8.4-1 -> 2.8.5-1) [2021-09-05T20:29:01-0500] [ALPM] upgraded dkms (2.8.5-1 -> 2.8.6-1) [2021-09-12T23:13:51-0500] [ALPM] upgraded dkms (2.8.6-1 -> 2.8.6-2) The dkms 2.8.6-1 package was acting odd, leaving old folders for drivers for vbox versions that no longer existed on the system. When I updated to 5.14.2 with dkms-2.8.6-1 the vboxsf module failed to build for whatever reasons. (I forced a rebuild on the guest twice but it still didn't build correctly) Today I updated to the Arch package dkms-2.8.6-2 and updated the kernel to 5.14.3. With the new dkms, the vboxsf module built just like it was supposed to and everything is working fine on 5.14. So while I don't know exactly why vboxsf didn't build correctly with 5.14.2, but I strongly suspect it was due to the issue with the dkms package. You are correct, the testbuild ver. r146688 support the 5.14 kernel just fine. -- David C.
