To run VirtualBox, you’ll have to compile the driver against the kernel. Here’s a good article on getting started with VB:

In addition, I suggest you read through this fine article here: http://forums.opensuse.org/content/59-how-install-virtualbox-opensuse-11-4-12-1-tumbleweed.html
And our lead in article in this section also has some good information: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/virtualization/469824-welcome-new-opensuse-virtualization-forum.html
Just as said by chief_sealth, you must install kernel drivers from Oracle, not included in the Linux kernel (as well as a VM BIOS setting that must be enabled) to get VirtualBox to work. VB is a good VM and worth the trouble to get it working. Good Luck!
Thank You,
Thank you both very much, I got windows xp working on virtual box
However, I can’t see any USB devices in it even though I installed the extension pack. How is this solved?
EDIT: Sorry, I see I have to add my username to the users group or something? How do I do this on KDE?
Ok So I added myself to the group but usb won’t show up in the guest maching it says no devices are connected. How can I get my device to show?

Changes in group membership require logging back into the UI. Make sure
you do that.

I have found I need to plug in the USB device, see that it is detected in the openSUSE host and then add it specifically in the USB device manager for that VM configuration. This works for a USB connected iPod Nano (I got for xmas) to iTunes running in a 32 bit Windows 7 guest. It works like a champ for me, but its not totally plug and play for the guest without some extra effort.
Thank You,

What you say is true for dynamically plugged USB devices; however if you go to
the USB devices section of the VM setup, you can add devices that the host will
never see if that guest is running as they will be diverted to the guest. I
think that is what you want.
Thanks Larry for the info. As one might guess, I have not done much with this device except to load some music into it, which did work with iTunes running in a Windows 7 VM guest. I actually use it as a watch though, not that that matters all that much. I shall give your suggestion a try today. I just installed VirtualBox 4.1.18 (Linux_Downloads – Oracle VM VirtualBox) with its new extension pack (http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.18/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.18-78361.vbox-extpack) and it was able to load and run it without patching it under kernel 3.5-rc5 though I have not yet rebooted to make sure all is well. And, its the first time I got the 3D support actually working with Windows 7 32 bit. Next step, give the USB and the Nano a try to see what it does.
Thank You,

I have been running 4.1.18 since its release. The official VB fix for kernel 3.5
changes is different than the one I posted, but both seem to work OK. So far, my
only use of the USB passthru on the new version is for USB sticks, which have
been fine. They were dynamically assigned using the “Device” pulldown for a
running Windows XP guest.
