Check that your CPU has hardware virtualization support:

Intel:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx

AMD:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep svm

If it returns anything, there is a different problem.

If it doesn't return anything, check the BIOS to see if there is an
option to enable Virtualization Support and enable it.

You can also check your processor information online (at either Intel or
AMDs website) to see if they indeed have virtualization support.

What CPU do you have in the CentOS host?
