Ubuntu 7.04 won't start Hi guru's: I downloaded the new release of Ubuntu 7.04 i386 ISO today. I verified the download was good with an MD5 check, so no problems there. When creating the new VM for Ubuntu, I just used the "typical" selected Linux, then Other 2.6 Kernel taking defaults along the way. When I point to the ISO and start, it gives me a window, a boot prompt. I hit enter, get a couple of lines of text then a quick "RSDP not found" message, and it goes black, never to boot further. I have Fedora working just fine, but I'd like to play with Ubuntu. Does anyone have any idea what this message of RSDP not found means and more importantly, how to fix whatever the problem is? Thanks in advance. Steve |

Fusion is the new (still beta) VMWare competitor to Parallels Desktop. It is not open-source, vmware betas are normally time limited, and the final non-beta version will not be free. |

Workaround to install Ubuntu Feisty Server I've written up a workaround to install Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Server on Parallels. This covers installing Feisty Server - a different kettle of fish to installing Feisty Desktop, though both make use of the Solaris CDROM emulation. |

But neither is parallels free? - I don't understand what point your trying to make. Fusion beta is a MUCH better solution for LinuxVM. Why bodge together a work-around when you could just use fusion and have it work properly,first time with no messing about. __________________ *** |

Ubuntu 7.04 Install - Another Idea or Approach I just wanted to offer a solution I used to install the latest version of Ubuntu. First, I download (using a Bitorrent Client) the excellent image file for Ubuntu 6.x found in the following location on these forums: Sticky: Parallels Images ready to download! There is a 6.0x image that installs very easily into Parallels and is configured for most of the work I need. Next, I just updated it using the built in manager which updated Ubuntu to 7.04. Took a while but far less work than everyone seems to be expending doing these installs. I'm typing this message in from Firefox running in Ubuntu 7.04. I'm not very technical when it comes to installing operating systems but I figured this out easily. The only issue I've run across is a message about Restricted Drivers Manager. There are two items now listed that did not appear before: VMWare Virtual Machine Monitor VMWare Virtual Networking Driver I also lost my internet connectivity when the system restarted. I easily restablished it using the Network Connection icon. My MacBook Pro is wireless only but I selected Wired Connection for the Ubuntu running in Parallels and immediately connected. Just an idea...please don't take me out for gross stupidity and laziness since I owe this solution to the hard work of the person who created the image in the first place (a huge thanks!!). |
