There isn’t much to say.
I’ve not photograph’d the messages nor I remember them well enough (they are 3 or 4 in around 1 second) and maybe it’s normal, but it’s the second boot since I’ve installed OracleVM on this “fresh” install, and it’s the second time it happened.
Google is useless at figuring out what this really means (maybe nobody really directly asked it), so I made this post to get a straight answer that will be useful for everyone forever.
Virtualbox needs kernel modules, if you change kernel they sometimes need to be recreated.
I have peace with that since i use:
# sudo dnf group install virtualization && sudo usermod -aG libvirt yourusername
If you want more detailed information in the Internet then I propose that you start to put more detailed information in it.
A good start would be:
journalctl --no-tail --no-hostname -S "today" |grep -i Virt
I also can’t run VB 7.2.6 this morning, installed with the RPM Fusion instructions. I was updated to the 6.19.6 kernel. Using Fedora 43 KDE. I get these errors.

If you installed the virtualbox via akmod-VirtualBox then after updating you have to give time to install before rebooting the system.
Have you done this? If you made everything right and still get the same errors, then the kernel-modules are not ready yet.
My proposal is still the same, If you want a working virtualization, please consider to check the alternative above.
I have no idea where I should be looking for.
The things I see during boot are something like .../folder/folder/program.
Here’s the output anyways.

I didn’t say I can’t run it.
In fact I’ll maybe have some time to run in after this message (I am busy).
We’ll see if we have the same problem…
I installed mine from Discover.
I never rush to reboot. Generally it’s hours not minutes.
If your list for errors get to long then just use a more specific search string …
Read the Error message carefully and try to do what it says … then give feedback.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmm..,…,…,…,…
You sent a response as I was sending this.
Thanks, but “the messages didn’t get too long”, that’s everything that came up.
I am not in a hurry to solve this problem tho, even if I’ll have to go do other things in 1 hour.
Just a comment about my experience I made here:
I was also looking for help with Virtualbox when I started here. By side to explaining me similar things as I do now, I got invited to use the Native Virtualization as Fedora uses (see link above) , to test it my selves.
I never watched back, I am free of missing kernel-modules and also the add-ons for Virtualbox which always where needed, they do not bother me anymore.
I am also not in a hurry 
But I will stop now to repeat saying the same.
I have no idea what N.V. is.
Could I get a link?
Are you reading error messages and other comments 
?
I do read them, but since I don’t have hyperthymesia and I am doing other things too I don’t remember small things read 2 hours ago.
Complete!
usermod: user 'yourusername' does not exist
Ahah! Funny.
Do I need to run the command again and this time put in my PC’s Account’s username, or do I have to delete something, or am I golden?
That’s not a solution to the VB problem. It’s an alternative, no???
If in the end it doesn’t explain, nor solve, why I see things flash during boot, then it won’t be a solution.
I have to go and maybe won’t be back for a day.
Looks like there is a problem with the build. You can check this on your machine to ensure it’s the same problem @isaac0clarke by viewing /var/cache/akmods/VirtualBox/ and looking for at the build log for the kernel version you’re using - it’ll have the word failed in the filename if there’s an issue.

Just for information.
Yep.
That’s also the message that comes when booting:
"something something akmod failed to build "…
This is by trying to follow what the popup says.
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.

You can try to add to command line:
--skip-unavailable to skip unavailable packages
So if this is on the Devs and I can do nothing [1] I consider this issue closed.
If anything I’m interested in what @ilikelinux was talking about, but also, and mainly, because now I am very tired and ill, I’ll not actively try to understand for a day or two.
.
Thanks to everyone for your help.
(that a normal user won’t ever do by oneself, like patching the Kernel or installing 8 different versions of the same program hoping one works, leaving the spaghetti mess to linger and take space and be a potential source of future problems) ↩︎
