After I upgraded my Mac OS from version 10.15.7 to Big Sur 11.0.1, the Virtualbox VM crashed all the time. Erro message is below:

Mac OS Big Sur is Version 11.0 Not 10.16. FYI – On virtualbox you can fix this with the following commands, replacing Mac-XXXXX with a valid serial number. If you want to run macOS 11 Big Sur using your VirtualBox virtual machine first and foremost you’re going to need a macOS Big Sur image (ISO file). On here are the installation files that you need to install macOS versions 11 These images are available online however not all of them guaranteed to work with VirtualBox. The macOS Big Sur developer beta has several errors that can crash your data and you won’t be able to restore it back. Therefore, install macOS Big Sur on Virtualbox and check all the new features of macOS Big Sur with new improvement. Virtual machines allow you to run multiple operating systems at a time on a single host.
I did a few searches on the web, it seems the problem occurred when the VirtualBox kernel driver is not loaded or permission is not right. In my case, it is related to the security setting in Mac OS. I need to provide permission to system modules from Oracle.
Note: This message only popup after you have new installation of Virtualbox.
I tried to reinstall Virtualbox a few times in my Mac to allow this, but did not work for me. Then I found another procedure with CMD line from web.

Apparently, there was a long discussion since Big Sur beta was released. Fortunately, there was a solution tested and posted by NickyD at the bottom of the thread.
Tested by NickyD: VirtualBox 6.1.16 r140961 running on BigSur macOS 11.0.1 (20B29) / Darwin 20.1.0
Tested by me: Virtualbox Offical release 6.1.16 ( r140961 (Qt5.6.3)) + BigSur MacOS11.0.1 (first public release of Big Sur), It worked well for me, too.
Step 1: sudo kextload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv
Step 2: Go into System Preferences->Security & Privacy
Step 3: Unlock the security center
Step 4: Approve the software by Oracle
Step 5:
sudo kextload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt
sudo kextload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp
sudo kextload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB
Step 6: Reboot

I was not familiar with kextload, so I summarize some info collected from https://osxdaily.com/2015/06/24/load-unload-kernel-extensions-mac-os-x/
kext is Kernel extensions for short, which are modules of code that are loaded directly into the kernel space of Mac OS X, able to run at a low-level to perform a variety of tasks. Most kexts are part of the core Mac OS X system software, typically hardware device drivers, but some third party apps will install a kext as well.
kextload: cmd to load a kernel extension into Mac OS X.
sudo kextload /path/to/kext.kext

kextload -b: use the bundle identifier (which are frequently the targets of defaults commands)
sudo kextload -b com.apple.driver.ExampleBundle
Either way, hit return and with the entry of the administrator password the kernel extension will be loaded into Mac OS X.
kextstat: list the kernels loaded
$ kextstat |grep com.apple.driver.ExampleBundle
125 0 0xdddddd7f23351040 0x5000 0x5000 com.apple.driver.ExampleBundle (1) 12 8 7 5 4 2 1
kextunload: unload a kernal extension.
Virtualbox Macos 10.15
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.ExampleBundle
Or by pointing directly to the kernel extensions path:
Macos 11 Big Sur Virtualbox
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ThirdPartyMystery.kext
Macos Big Sur Virtualbox Iso

Macos Virtualbox Linux
I have a Windows 10 PC and I use VirtualBox to host MacOS. This is done to learn the OS and to test a program.
I had MAC OS Mojave virtual machine and it worked okay. However I wanted to upgrade to MAC OS BIG SUR but upgrade failed as file system was not APFS. So I created a new machine and installed mac os big sur and after installation when it starts it stops at
'IOConsoleUsers : gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0'
What to do ? I am running latest version of virtual box.
