Video capture of crash during boot.(flash)

Description of problem:
Kernel panic during boot in a VBox VM when Guest Additions are installed.
Booting with kernel 4.6.xx works fine. Appears both in fed23 and fed24.
Booting without guest additions works, but screen is not useable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Kernel 4.7.2.101.F23 and Kernel 4.7.2.201.fed 24
Virtual Box VM 5.2.26 with Guest Additions (5.2.26)
Host is Windows10 i7 and 16G ram.

How reproducible:
Systematic

Steps to Reproduce:
Same issue with both fed 23 and fed 24.
Create a new VM from xfce-live-x64 fed 23 or 24
Install, boot, works.
dnf update (to 7.2.x01 )
reboot, ok.
Install guest additions.
reboot -> crash
reboot with 4.6.x -> ok
install gest additions on 4.6.x and reboot  -> ok

Actual results:

Crash during boot (see video)

Expected results:

Updating should not downgrade bootability

Fedora doesn't provide or support out of tree kernel modules.  You will need to take this up with VMWare.
