--- Comment #4 from russo@bogodyn.org ---
For what it's worth, I just got bitten by this same issue.

FreeBSD bogodyn.org 12.2-STABLE FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE
stable/12-n233832-ebb3327d09c GENERIC  amd64

virtualbox-ose-kmod-6.1.26


I had previously had the 5.x (-legacy) version installed and "upgraded" to
6.1.26.

I had apparently tried to install this before when VIMAGE was default "off"=
 and
the ports system had that config stored.  As a result, my system crashed ha=
rd
the second I started virtualbox (I had not even started a VM --- it crashed=
 on
launching the gui).

Rebuilding the kmod with VIMAGE on fixed the problem.  It runs fine so long=
 as
VIMAGE is on.

If VIMAGE must be on, it should no longer be an option in the port.  At the
very least there should alarm bells going off if the user tries to build
without VIMAGE on.

VIMAGE does default on now, but this doesn't help you if you have old confi=
gs
and aren't prompted to change them.
