F12 pae kernel: virtualbox-3.0.10 cannot be installed

[Joachim Backes]

My F12 system was installed with the i686.PAE kernel (until the actual 
one 2.6.31.5-115.fc12.i686.PAE). Now I tried to install virtualbox, but 
the installation 
failed:---------------------------snip-------------------------------------------

Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group!

No precompiled module for this kernel found -- trying to build one. Messages
emitted during module compilation will be logged to 
/var/log/vbox-install.log.

Compilation of the kernel module FAILED! VirtualBox will not start until 
this
problem is fixed. Please consult /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out 
why the
kernel module does not compile. Most probably the kernel sources are not 
found.
Install them and execute

   /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

as root.


Installed:
   VirtualBox.i686 0:3.0.10_54097_fedora12-1
------------------------- snip ------------------------------


As you see, the with the kernel version 2.6.31.5-115.fc12.i686.PAE the 
kernel modules cannot be built.

After installing the no-PAE kernel kernel-2.6.31.5-115.fc12.i686, 
VirtualBox has been installed cleanly.

Same problem, when trying to install VirtualBox from virtualbox.org.

Somebody made similar experiences?
