Is it possible that the kernel panic might have been triggered by my
CentOS host having "divider=10" set within Grub? I was messing around
with clock skew issues some time ago and was experimenting whether
adding this to the host (in addition to the guest) made a difference. I
never got around to removing this. This was rather stupid of me, and
I'll probably remove this anyway, but I'm wondering if with this change
it might be worth it to try Virtualbox again?
To the person that said that Vbox is working perfectly for them in RHEL
5.4, have you tried upgrading to 3.2.2? Since I'm on 3.2.2 I'm
wondering if this newer version is to blame? I'm happy to run 3.2.0 if
this will help :)

Not surprised... Sorry I can't do a better job at providing more info.
Like I said, this is not a great machine to be doing this sort of
testing on, but if we can identify something obvious I'm happy to try
this out after hours.
because I have RHEL 5.4, x64 host working perfectly with
VBox 3.2.0, so there should be no problem.
plz do
# uname -a
and
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
# uname -a

As you can see this is temporarily the CentOS 5.2 kernel, I rebooted
back into this for testing purposes. I was able to reproduce this
kernel panic while booted into both this kernel and the CentOS 5.5
kernel (2.6.18-194.3.1.el5). The machine has 10 gig of RAM.
