A new test build 6.1.27-revision-147118, and a companion extension pack version-6.1.27-147114,
have been posted at,
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

Edit in: Installed the test build and extension pack in -current (using the 5.15-rc3 kernel) and so far, so good.

Thanks! Do we use the EL8 or the 64 bit version?

I always use the one simply labeled as, "Linux 64-bit."

FWIW:
Test build 6.1.27-revision-147252, locked up while running ms-windows-XP3. It didn't lock up the computer, but what was running in VirtualBox (winxp3).
After reverting to test build 6.1.27-revision-147234, winXp3 runs as it should. No problems.
