4.8.x is very old. Please test on the newest kernels.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 24 kernel bugs.

Fedora 25 has now been rebased to 4.10.9-100.fc24.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 26, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 26.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Tested 4.8.15-200.fc24.x86_64 still an issue.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Please reopen.  This bug exists for Fedora 26:

I don't understand why this is being ignored.

HI

@Paul Anguiano 

were you able to receive any update on this?

I've heard nothing.  Bug remains auto-closed.  It doesn't appear anyone has ever seriously looked at this issue, so I don't know what the purpose of this bug tracker is.  It is exceedingly odd that they simply close all bugs at the end of a version cycle, as if pretending they no longer exist, rather than rolling them forward.

I suppose the way forward, from the auto-notice, is: "If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release."  Every other project I've worked on has done everything they can to avoid duplicates, but I don't see any other way to get anyone's attention.

Also find on fedroa 27, I try to download the kernel src code to fix 。。。。

Please re-open for Fedora 27.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Create a Fedora 27 virtual machine in VirtualBox 5.2.6.
2. Run `sudo dnf upgrade -y --refresh`.
3. Run `sudo dnf install -y kernel-devel`.
4. Insert the VirtualBox Guest Additions CD image.
5. When prompted, install VirtualBox Guest Additions 5.2.6.

OBSERVED BEHAVIOR:

1. A terminal window opens with the following:

VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Look at /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log to find out what went wrong

2. Running `head /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log` shows the following:

Building the main Guest Additions module.
make V=1 CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= -C /lib/modules/4.15.4-300.fc27.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 -j4 modules
make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.

echo >&2;							\
echo >&2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";		\
echo >&2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";	\
echo >&2 ;							\
/bin/false)

3. Running `cd cd /usr/src/kernels/4.15.4-300.fc27.x86_64 && make oldconfig && make prepare` shows the following:

#
# configuration written to .config

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

1. The development package for kernel 4.15.4-300 should provide tools/build/Build.include.

2. VirtualBox Guest Additions should compile with kernel 4.15.4-300.
