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?
