Ubuntu beta won't boot
The new Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" beta CD image won't boot at all in Parallels. It freezes on a black screen after I hit enter at the boot prompt. It boots OK and installs successfully in VMWare Fusion, however.

I've always noticed a difference in the way Linux boots in Parallels vs. VMWare. Under Parallels I get the text mode boot screen. In VMWare, as it does on a real machine, it boots with the usplash graphic image and progress bar. Part of the Linux project I'm working on involves customizing the boot splash image, so I can't test it at all in Parallels.
