The difference is that with Cent it assumes it can do PV, but selecting Other 64-bit you force it into HV.

Press ALT-F2 then run fdisk. Also I believe when you use PV mode to install there is no graphics. You will need to use HVM (Other) to do the install. Then you have graphics.

And as far as Cent 6.3 compatibility, while it's not on the list it doesn't mean it will break either. We had an issue with XS 5.6 that Cent 6 wouldn't install so we worked around the issue by installing it on XS 6, downloaded the vhd image, and imported it in and everything ran fine. I'm not suggested this is a *supported* way to go, but it's been solid for us so far. *From:* Trevor Francis [mailto:trevor.fran...@tgrahamcapital.com<http://tgrahamcapital.com> <trevor.francis@tgrahamcapital.c<mailto:trevor.francis@tgrahamcapital.c> om>] *Sent:* Wednesday, November 7, 2012 6:49 AM *To:* cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org<mailto:cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org> *Subject:* XS 6.02 ~ No Graphical Console I am attempting to install Centos 6.3 on on XS 6.02 Hypervisors with all the latest Hotfixes.
