I have to say I'm impressed with VirtualBox:-(

I downloaded it on my CentOS5 system , and then
rpm -ivh ...
and too a brief comfort break.
Came back to see the grub menu vanish as the system began booting.

VirtualBox didn't start. A quick investigation showed no kernel module 
and no magic kernel builder package (not mentioned as a prereq??).
"make && make install" in the right directory got the module.

modprobe ...
Instant panic, system reboots.
Defaults to same kernel, panics and reboots....

Good software, eh?
