Description Adel KARA SLIMANE 2024-09-29 11:09:43 UTC 
When trying to launch a Rocky-8.10 ISO I get this error message in the GUI app

```
Failed to load R0 module /usr/lib64/virtualbox/VMMR0.r0: /usr/lib64/virtualbox/VMMR0.r0: DT_RELA* does not match section type: 4 vs 9 (VERR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT)
```

The machine log ~/.VirtualBox/Machines/Rocky-8.10/Logs/Vbox.log contains these lines

```
00:00:00.627767 SUP: RTLdrOpen failed for VMMR0.r0 (/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VMMR0.r0) VERR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT
00:00:00.627778 PDMLdr: pdmR3LoadR0U: pszName="VMMR0.r0" rc=VERR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT szErr="/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VMMR0.r0: DT_RELA* does not match section type: 4 vs 9"
```

I re-emerged virtualbox and tried running it as root, same error happens

Reproducible: Always
