$ uname -r 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 |

Note |
VBoxLinuxAdditions.sh looks for the kernel source at $KERN_DIR/${uname -r}. The cp below is to make the directory structure meet its expectations (the default kernel sources folder includes the minor version) |

You rocks mate! But a simple question. The first command you wrote is
sudo yum gcc make kernel-devel kernel-devel kernel-headers
perhaps maybe is
sudo yum install gcc make kernel-devel kernel-headers
so you mistake add twite kernel-devel and forget install? :D
Fixed =]
Thanks Fabrizio!
