But i found out that the centos in which i am trying to install VB is 4.8 and the rpm: VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.4_62467_rhel5-1.i386.rpm is dor centos 5..

update the cent 4 install to the current 5.5

or build vb from source

installing a 5 rpm on 4 will not work.

You're going to have some sort of outage during an upgrade, no matter how you do it, on ANY operating system. It's far better to do a clean installation, than run an upgrade, though.
