I put a mirror of this, http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/ on a local http server
then I use the netinstall iso to boot the system or VM and have the kickstart file point to the http url to run the install. if you do a pxe boot of the netinstall image, even better.
I created a local O/S repo by 'merging' the two DVD isos (copied DVD 1 to directory mounted under /var/www and then copied the contents of the Packages directory of the second DVD into the copy of the Packages directory) and then used this local repo as the install source. Same thing -- it hangs at selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6.noarch. CPU busy for awhile, then virtually zero CPU usage. Is it a memory problem? I've only allocated 1gig of RAM to this VM -- is that too little? Is there something 'special' about selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6.noarch?
OK, I managed to install the VM. I did a 'Minumal-Desktop' install and then installed the 300+ additional packages after the 'Minumal-Desktop' completed and the VM rebooted (I used the package list from the 32-bit 'Development-Workstation' install I did earlier). I still don't know why selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6.noarch caused the install to go off into never-never land... There was no problem doing a 'Development-Workstation' install of the 32-bit version. My *only* guess was the 1gig was not enough RAM for selinux-policy-targeted post-install script with large number of installed packages, but there were no error messages, so I really don't know what was going on.
My next option is to just treat this like I did for the Ubuntu VMs: do a *native* install on a scratch disk and then copy it over to the lvm volume. This means I will have burn two DVDs... Argggg.
