VirtualBox on TOS 5.1+ and Home Assistant Image

I have a problem running VirtualBox ( ver 6.1.18 (142142)) on TOS 5.1+

TOS 5.0.176 Linux (4.19.165+) + VirtualBox ( ver 6.1.18 (142142)) works fine.
However, some applications require TOS 5.1+.

And have a problem running in VirtualBox
E.g.: Home Assistant Image haos_ova-**.vdi (haos_ova-9.5.vdi.zip, haos_ova-10.0.rc4.vdi.zip …)

But none of these setups work:
TOS 5.1.17 Linux (5.15.59) + VirtualBox ( ver 6.1.18) + Home Assistant Image
TOS 5.1.24 Linux (5.15.59) + VirtualBox ( ver 6.1.18) + Home Assistant Image
TOS 5.1.31 Linux (5.15.59) + VirtualBox ( ver 6.1.18) + Home Assistant Image

Has anyone encountered this or maybe know a solution?

It's possible that for some reason the app didn't actually start successfully, go to the app center and try restarting it or restart TNAS.

I thank you for council. Yes, did restart, reinstallation of app and hard reset of TNAS. It does not solve a problem

Have you ever updated your system to 5.1.24? This update contains a kernel update and some possibly Vbox related files.
If you have not updated to 5.1.24, we recommend that you reinstall TOS5.1.31.

The final plan for today ?
A. Complete removal of Virtual Box (Need additional manual cleaning? How?)

B. Please indicate recommended actions
1) Full initial installation 5.1.24
2) Full initial installation 5.1.31
3) Full installation 5.0.176 -> Update to 5.1.24
4) Full installation 5.0.176 -> Update to 5.1.24 -> Update to 5.1.31

C. Installation Virtual Box

You can reinstall TOS 5.1.31. If you are not using another application, you can choose to restore factory Settings and reinstall TOS 5.1.31, then rename the virtualbox shared folder, and then reinstall VirtualBox.

TOS version 5.1.34 VirtualBox 6.1.18 (142)
The problem is similar, there is an assumption that VB is phpVB.
the problem is that: the console and terminal do not work.
There is no way to understand why HA does not start.

Reassuring- that I'm not the only one with such a problem, so I'm not wrong.

MB are there other options for installing HAOS in TOS ?
