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.
I've also not tried the Live CD but kickstart installs from the DVD onto VB VMs on OS X and Win7 work perfectly well for me. Not quite what the OP's asking about but...
