- Update fixes_for_kernel_5.18.patch to save and restore FPU status during interrupt.
  The change fixes boo#1199803.

- Update support of building with Python
  * Add vbox-python-py310.patch for support of Python 3.10
    https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/59d75cd22
    https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/90537/vbox
    https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/86623/vbox
  * Drop switch_to_python3.4+.patch and vbox-python-detection.diff;
    replace by vbox-python-selection.patch for what is left of the
    above after removing some obvious cruft. Could still be more in
    there.
  * Remove unnecessary reusage of old python2 macros, we use
    python-rpm-macros already.

- Replace SDL-devel BuildRequires with pkgconfig(sdl): allow to use
  sdl12_compat as an alternative.

- Filter out rpmlint error that is valid for qemu, but will
  have its badness increased in the future.

- Version bump to 6.1.34 (released March 22 2022) by Oracle
  This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
  VMM: Fix instruction emulation for "cmpxchg16b"
  GUI: Improved GUI behavior on macOS Big Sur and later when kernel extensions are not loaded
  EHCI: Addressed an issue with handling short packets (bug #20726)
  Storage: Fixed a potential hang during disk I/O when the host I/O cache is disabled (bug #20875)
  NVMe: Fixed loading saved state when nothing is attached to it (bug #20791)
  DevPcBios: Addressed an issue which resulted in rejecting the detected LCHS geometry when the head count was above 16
  virtio-scsi: Improvements

thank you from a TW user. I was not able to switch the image over toe KVM so this is perfect. Can't get it to run unless I change to USB1 (did add the extension pack) but for now that is fine.

so thanks again for this work around

Thanks for the kind words. Mind sharing the error details?

It is important to use https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.97-140056.vbox-extpack which was rebuild early this week after raising this issue.

I had the 140023, though that was the last one. yours works fine.

now for a new stab to get it into KVM, but going on holiday tomorrow so will have to wait 3 weeks :) I think its a driver issue between the running win10 on VB and the one on KVM, since I can let windows do a full repair/reinstall but of course you lose everything.

thank you again for this.

BTW; I've synced Larry's tree with VB 6.1.13 now. Expect some downgrade activities on update.

Awaits testing..
