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：

帮忙看看 谢谢。

# yum update

# yum install gcc
# yum install kernel-uek-devel  

试试看这三条命令呢。OEL默认是带两个内核的，一个是RHEL，一个是Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel。你估计在跑UEK内核。

ok，多谢钱多多。
总算解决了，执行上述3条命令，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，但是经过钱多多的解释，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@gtlionsdev ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
