The same problem with you.
Here is my solution, wish can help.

1. uname -a
get the result: Linux intel-miit 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:25:57 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

2. yum install yum install kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686

done

As "yum install kernel-PAE-devel" only will install the newest version of kernel source code. but the virtualbox need the kernel code of current running version.
