Failure to build kernel module in Virtualbox 7.0.2 about vagrant-vbguest HOT 6 CLOSED

I also had a similar problem.
I added the following and it worked fine on rocky linux9.

config.vbguest.installer_options = { allow_kernel_upgrade: true, auto_reboot: true }
config.vbguest.installer_hooks[:before_install] = ["dnf -y install epel-release kernel-devel", "sleep 2"]
config.vbguest.installer_hooks[:after_install] = ["dnf -y update", "sleep 2"]

Sadly that does not solve this problem. I added your lines, saw that it installed the packages but the install of the actual guest additions still fails with the same message as I originally posted.

Where did you get your images from?
Please test with a different image.

This works fine.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "alvistack/centos-9-stream"
  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
     vb.memory = "4096"
     vb.cpus = 4
     vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--natdnshostresolver1", "on"]
  end
  config.vbguest.installer_options = { allow_kernel_upgrade: true, auto_reboot: true }
end

I am running with the latest image from CentOs

Not really sure why it's needed, but can you/have you tried install libX11 using the before_install hook?

Thank you for the suggestion, I have not. But I can unfortunately not try; I do no longer run that setup. It broke both our ST and AT environments so there were no time to wait around for solutions. I changed the guest to Arch Linux instead and everything works.
