Yesterday, I successfully create a Scientific Linux 5.10 virtual machine on my MacBook (OS X 10.9, retina display).

Today, I am trying with Scientific Linux 6.5, but at the beginning of installation, I am told that unsupported hardware was detected. I pressed OK. Many posts on the internet say that installation will resume. In my case, it simply stopped. I am staring at the Scientific Linux logo screen.

Is this a known issue?

I assume you are talking about an error message from the guest OS, and not a VirtualBox error. In which case you should really ask about that error message on a Scientific Linux 6.5 forum.

A guest software issue doesn't become a VirtualBox issue just because the PC is a virtual one.

Thank you. That's a good idea. I was just thinking that perhaps someone is this community had seen this.

Scientific Linux is just a spin of RHEL/CentOS/Fedora. Any version up to Scientific Linux 7 should install and run just fine if the guest is set up properly.
