It seems you should install the kernel-devel package. You can use these 
commands with root:
Because the kernel-devel package depends on your running kernel version, 
so check the kernel now
# uname -a

this command shows the kernel which you installed, then
# yum install kernel-devel

If your kernel is xen or PAE, install the exactly one, like 
kernel-devel-xen or kernel-devel-PAE

Then you can configure your VirtualBox.
