I have several machine CentOS 6 in Oracle Virtual Box and on VMWARE ESXi. All machine working great.
I use Centos 6 i386 DVD and netinstall from local repository.
Problem may be if you try to run x64 CentOS virtual machine on i386 OS Ubuntu.

I trying to try out CentOS 6 in an Oracle VirtualBox running on Ubuntu. Has anyone been able to get this configuration working?
When I try to boot the "Live" ISO it starts to do the countdown but when it reaches zero it gets stuck - nothing else happens. No error messages and since the install never really gets going, no logs.
I've checked the mailing list archive back a few months, but I've not seen anything related.
I've installed off DVD1 and done kickstart installs off the netinstall CD on VirtualBox 4 on CentOS5, and that works just fine. I can't see a reason why Ubuntu would make any real difference.
I've not tried the Live ISO.
The problem was that I had not switched on PAE in the VM definition. I tried the netinstall and got a message describing exactly why it couldn't boot.
