Running Virtualbox on a CENTOS 5 LINUX Hardware Node,requires no more effort to install,as you would any LINUX machine.
Why go through all this compiling of code,unless you are using the Open Source version of Virtualbox.
The short story is;
1. Download and install on the HN,the OVZ kernel source code,AND,the OVZ development headers,for the CENTOS 5 kernel
(2.18.53.1)
These files are (or was),available from the OpenVZ website.
2. Download and install the *.rpm of Virtualbox for RHEL5,or use the generic installer.
It works like a charm.
I run a Windows 2003 Server as DNS,along side my HN,in VRDP
server mode. ( Windows DNS is easier than BIND)
Has virtual Ethernet working via bridging on the HN.
Running the Virtualbox VM,has very little impact on the HN resources.
Good luck
