CentOS 5.5 64bit as a guest on Virtualbox

CentOS 5.5 64bit failed to install as a guest on VirtualBox. It pauses with "NET: Registered protocol family 2" before the installer even starts. The 32bit version installed fine however.

To get the 64 bit version to install as a guest on VirtualBox (redhat 64bit profile), I had to enable IO APIC under System|Motherboard
