安装环境和所使用的安装包如下：
[root@ ~]# cat /etc/issue
Oracle Linux Server release 5.8
Kernel \r on an \m
[root@ ~]# uname -a
Linux 2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek #1 SMP Sat Jul 14 10:42:52 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@ ~]# ll soft/app/VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.18_78361_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm

分别用从官网下载的安装包直接安装和配置yum进行安装，安装均报错如下：
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [确定]

google出来的尝试执行如下命令：

还是失败
查看日志提示如下“：

Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install without
Makefile:172: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again。 停止。
后来经过群友提示和帮助解决了。
原因是缺少了对应内核的对应的包，虽然我之前已经执行过 kernel-devel的安装命令，但是没有安装uek内核的对应的 kernel-devel，正确的应该是kernel-uek-devel。
执行上述命令之后，重新执行下安装/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup命令即可：
[root@ ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [确定]
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [确定]

再次感谢群友，群众的力量的伟大的，哈哈！
