Which virtualizaton technology are you using? KVM, Xen, Qemu, or have you decided that the merged interface for those is unsuitable for casual use and simply installed VirtualBox? From your "paravirt" comment, I assume you're using Xen. Can you use a CD image to walk manually through the installation procedures, and especially check your network ocnfigurations for validity? And is the virtual host pingable when this step fails? Can you do "Ctrl-Alt-F2" and get a text screen to check your network setup and ping and verify access to your NFS or HTTP servers?
