I'm attempting to install Centos 6.5 and Ubuntu 13.10 via VirtualBox and I seem to be getting conflicting issues.

I first tried installing the x86_64 version, which notified me that I needed the i686 version of the kernel. A quick Google search showed another person with the same problem and the suggested course of action was to install the i386 version. This led to the message

" This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU"

    What's the base OS that virtualbox is running on? Perhaps you need the x86_64 version of VirtualBox on your base OS. – slm Feb 21 '14 at 02:43

"When you define a new VM, you must check the "Ubuntu 64bits" option under the Version drop-down menu."

I had not selected 64 bit from the Virtualbox menu.
