No display after guest installation

Hi

I have problem with KVM.
I installed linux guest os, but after installation i see only grub.
After Grub there is black screen and some weird blinking colors.

I saw that i have 9MB ram in Display pane.

When i was using virtualbox i got non of this problem.
I checked that vb is using 12mb ram.

Is this maybe a problem ?

I have in lenovo x220 intel hd 300 video card.

if you do not inform us as to the Operating system the host is running a KVM on , nor the Operating system you are Virtualizing
then there is not much we can do
1) What is the host ?
2) What is installed into the VM ?
3) How did you install the virtual os ?

Ok, I'm using Centos 6.5 64bits
I installed kali 1.0.7 64bits using kvm gui.

Kali and VM's do not mix well
yes it can be done but WHY!!!!
none of the nvidia CUDA tools will work
and THAT RIGHT THERE KILLS off any reason to use kali

do a install to a usb and use the encrypted usb with Persistence install guide!!!
http://docs.kali.org/category/installation

and PLEASE read and REREAD the section
"Should I Use Kali Linux?
http://docs.kali.org/introduction/sh...use-kali-linux
and RE-REREAD section #2
"Is Kali Linux Right For You?"

I need use kali in kvm for school.
I checked with debian , that there is a similar problem (gnome 3 display problem)
