Virtual Box install problem on FC10

[Yoram Halberstam]

it says:

vboxdrv                93896  0

Ok, if I need to go back to square one (the 4th email of this chain)... I
compiled the stuff and then I had

Failed to start the virtual machine Kids.

VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel
extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).

 Result Code:

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

Component:

Console

Interface:

IConsole {9511bc54-15ee-4ddf-808e-472aba03809c}

How do I compile my kernel without this KVM kernel extension and what is the
side effects of doing so?
