 Show I reset the links in /lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5 to point

 problem that needs attention ?

You have updated the kernel to the latest CR repo one. But you still run
the older CentOS kernel on which you try to install VirtualBox.
kernel-devel is just installed for the CR kernel version, not for your
current running kernel. Just reboot into the current kernel.
