I'm guessing Parallels has slightly different CD-ROM emulation to suit different OS types. Though I would have thought just a standard emulation would work across all of them... I'm mainly posting to say that switching to Solaris (Other Solaris) gets me past the CD-ROM detection error. I first tried changing to Linux (Other) rather than Linux (2.6 Kernel), but that didn't help. Thanks mmika. Cheers, Paul |

I attempted to install Feisty Fawn this evening on four separate occasions, to no avail. As per the instructions above, I created a VM based upon both a Solaris 10 and a Solaris other installation using Parallels build 3188. Initially, I elected to create a custom install using 1 GB of RAM and a 6 GB partition. After booting from the live CD, I got the "Unable to locate RSDP" message that so many others have reported. Nevertheless, the install proceeded without a hitch and I was able to specify all my settings. Upon reboot, I once again got the "ACPI: Unable to locate..." message (although it did eventually boot to the desktop). While on the desktop, I noticed the network error indicator in the top right corner of the screen, as well as a volume icon that appeared to show muted volume. When I clicked on the volume, I received a message that no sound card was configured. Once it was enabled via Parallels, I had no problem. Moving on to the networking issue, I confirmed that my ethernet connection was enabled via shared networking through Parallels. Unfortunately, I was still unable to gain internet access. Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, but I attempted a Typical install as well and ran into the same issues. Perhaps when re-configuring the VM after install, I did not switch the VM to Linux Kernal 2.6 at the proper time? Does this have to be done before Ubuntu requests a re-boot after the initial install? Apologies for the long-winded post. Any help greatly appreciated. Joe |

I failed to be able to install the cd at all. Errors as reported by others. So, I tried the dvd versions first in VMWare Fusion, of kubuntu and then of ubuntu. [I get free downloads from the mirror on my ISP server, so a 4gb d/l is ok :)] Both worked without a hitch. Then I tried the ubuntu DVD in Parallels. In a straight-out attempt, it failed. So I tried as Solaris, other solaris. This worked, in the sense that when it starts up it still reports that "Unable to locate RSDP" message, but if you ignore that it happily keeps booting [you may sometimes need to reboot]. Changed the name back to Ubuntu and I'm OK.

I got Fiesty Fawn Server to install on the Mac Book Pro by using Q , the OS X Gui for Qemu. It's slower that Parallels but, gets teh job done until Parallels has a work around. The trick of using Solaris 10 as the guest OS doesn't seem to work for Fiesty Fawn Server. |
