I gave up on the version from rpmfusion since they are unable to keep up with kernel updates from what I can tell and the akmod would fail to rebuild. I downloaded the version from VirtualBox.org, checked to see what patches I might need for the kernel I'm on, patched and built it and it's working flawlessly at this time. It's important to note that Oracle/VirtualBox *also don't tend to keep up with the kernel versions very well but there are a number of people who do figure out where the patches need to be and submit patches on the forums to get things working. It's much easier to patch, at least I think it is, the virtualbox.org version than it is to try to de-rpm the rpmfusion version, patch it, and re-rpm it back to a state where it can be reinstalled with yum/dnf and work (temporarily).

I had to quit and make a trip to town which accounts for my not responding for a while.
I'm confused about what version I'm running. The XFCE menu shows Oracle VM VirtualBox. When I tried to RPM install the kmod/akmod stuff it was already there. Apparently the Oracle version is what is giving me trouble?
When I select "Virtual Machine Manager" I can bring up centos7 and it seems to work. It looks like I have two versions of VBox? I'm not sure how to determine that and don't remember installing either one but obviously did. I probably did it while trying to accomplish something that needed it and VBox was peripheral to what I was doing, dunno, I'm drawing a blank.
Anyway selecting Virtual Machine Manager produces a working VM.
