Open VirtualBox from the desktop and create a new virtual machine after the installation is complete all right, wait until the virtual machine starts to error /sbin/vboxconfig

This time to enter the terminal on the VirtualBox, the hint is not available kernel or kernel not loaded information, and prompted to run/sbin/vboxconfig to see the details, after the run found two hints a missing gcc, The other is kernel's problem.

Decisive release of the dog, it is necessary to kernel-devel this component, found the problem that installation on the line.
