Athlon X2 7750, 8GB RAM, Geforce 210 graphics, Atheros wifi.

Updated the nvidia340 driver first, then came after this, using the 5.3.13 kernel. Ran a Windows XP guest, updated the malware database, looked up a recipe in a cookbook.

So far, so good. Now off to check the 5.4 kernel...

Update to the 5.4 kernel proceeded without incident. Note that I do not install dkms-virtualbox, so that the pre-built kmods can be properly tested. 

Ran a Windows XP guest, no issues noted. Looks OK on this hardware.

Thats quite all right, since the prebuilt kmods uses the dkms packages to build, so they get tested that way...

Good enough tests...

Flushing out so we can start testing virtualbox 6.1 series
