I'm going to install a machine with both CentOS and Kali. What are the steps to follow? Which should I install first CentOS or Kali?
The issue I tried to run Kali as virtual machine however, it just failed to start. I also tried running via USB, but it runs and then each time it loses all my previous settings. Please advise.

The issue I tried to run Kali as virtual machine however, it just failed to start. I also tried running via USB, but it runs and then each time it loses all my previous settings. Please advise.
In this case i would install Kali first and then CentOS.
Please note that if you run Kali on a USB, you run in live mode, it means that every time you reboot the system you will lose all your changes.
If you want to persist Kali on your hard disk you must download and ISO image and follow this instructions.
But at step 6 you must create two different partitions (this is by selecting the 'Manual' option).
Then you should download and install Centos (it will automatically create a GRUB menu, and you should be able to select which systems start at start-up).

Just want to add that it's possible to have persistence on a live USB pendrive. Certainly not full-proof but possible...

Not to discourage your decision, but I would consider how you plan to utilize this system once it's configured. The nature of these two operating systems is very different, almost opposite in some regards. Much of what can be done with Kali can be done in Cent as well. You may not need both unless the exercise is to weigh them against each other.
