A pool of -current testers is very small compared to virtualbox testers, reducing it even further by specific version of the module will result in a list of ~5 users who might not even use the forum.
You may want to attach the output/error message, as there are users here who could fix it possibly without even using the same version of the module.
Error message normally does not change between module versions, and in most cases it will tell you what you want to know.
I'm a bit more conservative and still testing Current with Pat's kernel 5.4.59 and VBoxGuestAdditions-6.0.15. Works well for me. Probably move to 5.4.61 when I get a quiet moment.
ponce, yeah I saw that before posting, host doesn't have 6.1.13 available, thanks anyway. I'll have to wait for 5.8 support before moving off 5.7 on the guest.
Thanks for the link.
WinXp3 and within it, HP's scanner drivers, are running perfectly in VirtualBox-6.1.13-140124-Linux_amd64.run and its extension pack with the 5.8.5 kernel.
