Just my Ivy Bridge Intel i7-4820K has the problem. I did try the kernel boot parameter mitigations=off, in case the Spectre or other workarounds were wrong for Ivy Bridge, but it still didn't work. > > One more data point.

My server snapshot fails to get through the complete dnf upgrade on kernel 5.17.13, works fine if booting the host with the earlier kernel 5.17.11 (using the GRUB boot menu to pick the older OS). > > So, should we report this to VirtualBox?

I'll add some notes about that there. Note the rpmfusion VirtualBox packages now include this fix: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Virtualization/virtualbox/fixes_for_kernel_5.18.patch?expand=1 See: https://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22655 Which is supposed to fix this.
