I installed VirtualBox from the terminal using
sudo yum install VirtualBox
But need VirtualBox guest Additions for shared folder access of the host system. Tried installing from terminal using
sudo yum install VirtualBox-guest
enountered the following dependency error

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
It comes out that either i could install VirtualBox or VirtualBox-guest however i need both. Even after i tried installing VirtualBox guest additions using the image downloaded using VirtualBox menu command, still got some modprobe error
(modprobe vboxguest failed)
None of the method seem to work. Are there some kernel issues here ?
