The kernel is signed with Fedora's private key for that release. So, the virtualbox module would also need to be signed with that key. But it isn't a Fedora module, so Fedora will not sign it. That is, whoever created the virtualbox module would need to have Fedora's private key in order to sign it and have it accepted. A virtualbox module thus needs to be signed with a different private key, and the public key for that private key has to be available to the kernel / system that is loading that module in order for it to be validated and successfully load. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
