Hi,
Maybe, I've found a workaround. I had to change again the XML file in
order to add some 'features' element.
<features>
<acpi/>
<apic/>
<pae/>
<hap/>
</features>
This time, the installation of the guest system seems to work.
I still have some annoying problem with the CentOS graphical
installation since the installation GUI immediately disappears with
the following message:
** (anaconda:1049): WARNING **: keybinder_init: Unable to open display
(anaconda:1049): Gdk-WARNING **: anaconda: Fatal IO Error 0
(Success) on X server :1.
Pane is dead
and the installation program remains stuck.
I've also tried to start the installation in the basic graphics mode.
But the problem remains.
Again, I can solve this with a workaround: I start the installation in
text mode by adding "text" to the kernel boot options of the CentOS
installation.
Now the VM is up & running.
Best,
