Critical processor error in Ubunu 8.04 inside microsoft virual machine

by Bharat on Jan.07, 2009, under Tech

The notes below are nothing original, they are just summarized from previous entries and maybe clarified.

To get the CD to load,

Press F4 to select an alternate starting mode. When it pops up, change to Safe graphics mode and press Enter.

elect F6 and add “noreplace-paravirt” to the end of the command line and press Enter.

Now pick “Try Ubuntu…” (should already be selected) and press enter. Do NOT pick the Install Ubuntu option,

Once Ubuntu is loaded from CD, select install from the desktop and it’ll build the system on the VPC disk.

After you press restart, it just kind of hangs there. I shut the VPC session down and told it to save state, then started it again and it booted fine.
