I know it's non of my business ... but why do you install Virtualbox,
when SL ships with a quite functional virtualization?

  yum install kvm qemu-kvm python-virtinst libvirt libvirt-python \
              virt-manager libguestfs-tools

That should basically give you every thing you would need.  Start
virt-manager (should even be added to the Applications menu).

A RHEL6 Getting Started guide on virtualization can be found here:
<https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Getting_Started_Guide/>

And another quite good "getting started guide", explaining a more
advanced network setup:
