Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 64bit, the guest additions do no build cleanly. I have attached logfiles. Here is console output of installation:

This is not a bug. The Additions are installed correctly. The DRM module cannot be built. This is expected on some Linux distributions.

Summary: RHEL6.2 64bit guest addition breakageRHEL6.2 64bit guest addition breakage -> fixed as of 6 Jan 2012

Closer inspection showed that this is due to changes in the RHEL/OEL kernel relative to the same version number upstream. The Additions test build linked below (usual disclaimers apply) should contain the fix.
