Of interesting note, it now no longer hangs on selinux-policy-targeted, but every time now on qla2xxx-firmware which is the last package. I've let it sit overnight, same results.

Even though I'd already verified MD5 of the ISO, I redownloaded from a different mirror, same results. I've tried disabling ACPI on the VM, giving less RAM, more RAM, use smaller HDD, larger HDD, more CPU cores, less CPU cores, etc. No change.

Surely *someone* has installed CentOS 6 in a KVM VM and gotten it to work? :)
