OK, I did this to get it to work:

rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv
rpm -e --nodeps kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.22.9-1mdv-1-1mdv2008.0
urpmi kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.22.9-1mdv-1-1mdv2008.0
rpm -ivh VirtualBox-1.5.2_25433_mdv2007.1-1.i586.rpm

Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group!

No precompiled module for this kernel found -- trying to build one. Messages
emitted during module compilation will be logged to /var/log/vbox-
install.log.

Success!

Virtualbox 1.5.2 runs just peachy.
