I've installed VirtualBox from YaST, specifically the packages: virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-guest-tools virtualbox-ose-kmp-default (This is the default kernel) xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox-ose (Mouse & Video driver)
Calling 'virtualbox' at a terminal does nothing. I do not find anything that looks like an executable for this program, so something seems to be missing.
Besides two additional kernels of the same size as the default ("debug" and "trace"), there is another, much smaller "kernel" called virtualbox-ose-kmp- pae, and maybe that is what is missing. But if someone can confirm that, I would feel much easier in making the experiment. The descriptions of these files in the Software Manager are less helpful than usual.
I also use the download from the virtualbox site. Never had any problems and it works great. Direct downloads i586/x86_64:
