Running VirtualBox in a Xen environment not supported (UEK installed)

2684097Feb 7 2016 — edited Feb 7 2016

Hi experts,

I am trying to install VirtualBox (VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.14_105127_el5-1.x86_64.rpm) on a Oracle Linux 5

uname -a:Linux exal-cons-vm3 2.6.32-200.21.2.el5uek #1 SMP Thu Jan 26 12:14:09 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and I'm getting the following error:

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

   1:VirtualBox-5.0         ########################################### [100%]

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.

the following is the result of cat /boot/grub/grub.conf

cat /boot/grub/grub.conf

cat /etc/sysconfig/kernel

# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make

# DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type

DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-uek

Can anyone help me out understand what the issue is here as it does not seem like I'm running a XEN environment. Instead I'm using UEK.

Thanks in advance!
