VBox doesn't work with KVM. They're basically rivaling products. Though
I'd love to see VBox adapt to make use of the KVM kernel module.

I'm sorry I can't help you on the configuration bits any more. The only
time I ever used VBox was to do a patch that allows VBox and KVM to
coexist. Just go through the virtual machine configuration things and
try out to change settings until it works.
