Hi, thanks for your help , 
In yours install demo here, you still miss the meta package
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE, in this case
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-4.1.8-1.fc15.10.i686
the PAE one is kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-PAE-4.1.8-1.fc15.10.i686

I made some confusion because we built VirtualBox-OSE-kmod.spec, but at
the end the arch rpms are all kmod-VirtualBox-OSE(...)

so: 
Requires: kmod-%{name} = %{version}%{?prereltag} 

I am testing it now with VirtualBox-OSE-guest and also it should
requires meta package, for better sync with kernels with kmods. 

so add also to VirtualBox-OSE-guest ? 

Again, if nobody complains, tomorrow I will update packages with
Requires: kmod-%{name} = %{version}%{?prereltag} 

Thanks,
