Hi,
I have a centos 5.3 server with a xen-kernel which you can find on any default installation of centos.
I've done the following step to install virtualbox:

Code: Select all

# yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
# yum groupinstall 'Development Libraries'
# yum install SDL kernel-devel kernel-headers kernel-xen-devel
# rpm -ivh --nodep VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm

Then the server was crashed.
I have had the same problem when the first time I have done /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Xen is by itself a virtualization inside the kernel. If you read the manual, you would know that you can't run two virtualizations at the same time. VB is, just like VMWare, not compatible with the Xen kernel. Install a different kernel flavour.
