Thanks. I'll try it. Should that have different results than running
these 2 commands after the kernel loads?<br>

I agree with Kyle certain kinds of Linux support being less
needed, but new things keep cropping up.<br>
<br>
In last December, my Win 10 VM running in VirtualBox 7.x on
Fedora 40 suddenly lost network connectivity.<br>
Windows tells me: "Unidentified Network/No network access."<br>
<br>
From the command prompt:<br>

I haven't been able to find anything that restores the internet
connectivity. In fact, when I tried opening an earlier snapshot
of the Windows VM, one from a time at which there was internet
connectivity, that snapshot now also had no internet
connectivity.<br>
<br>
Also, I thought maybe the December Windows updates had caused
the problem. But rolling back the updates in the VM did not
help.<br>
<br>
One idea has just come to me. About the same time the VM network
failed, I started getting warnings that<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, serif">"VirtualBox can’t operate in
VMX root mode." I found that running these two commands turn
off KVM without needing to recompile the kernel:<br>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif">sudo modprobe -r kvm</font></p>
<font face="Times New Roman, serif">This seems to work fine
until the next time I reboot the computer. Then I have to run
it again.<br>
<br>
Is there any chance that this step, to turn off KVM, somehow
interferes with the VB VM network connectivity?<br>
Does anyone have any suggestions for other solutions?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
