After updating BIOS vboxdrv.service fails even after akmods rebuild

Hello once again. I just updated my BIOS and now vboxdrv.service doesn’t work anymore. I know i need to reinstall the key of virtualbox into my BIOS and to do so i did this :

I even tryed with sudo kmodgenca -a --force but it still doesn’t work.

Am i missing some steps ? If so please tell me so i can fix it.
Thank you

this command creates a NEW key used to sign the kernel modules built by akmods. Don’t do that. Now, you still need to enroll the key.

test key: sudo mokutil -t /etc/pki/akmods/certs/public_key.der
enroll key: sudo mokutil --import /etc/pki/akmods/certs/public_key.der

Thank you i indeed just needed to re enroll the key now it works

When updating bios it usually wipes out all the user enrolled keys.
The fix is simply to repeat the enroll step given above.
