How to get your Ubuntu 6.10 Server running!
Hi!

Are you also plauged with these messages after installing Ubuntu Edgy Eft (6.10) Server?

Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060 c0100295 00000294

Thanks to these threads I now have a solution to the problem:
  1. http://forum.parallels.com/post27350-5.html
  2. http://forum.parallels.com/post25984-2.html

The problem seems to be related to the kernel so here is a solution for Ubuntu 6.10 Server:

I have two recipes for installing or reparing Ubuntu 6.10 Server both working with or without LVM (I use LVM). The idea is to replace the nonworking server kernel with the generic (desktop?) kernel.

1. Install generic kernel when installing:

When installation is finished press ALT-F2 before rebooting!

# chroot /target
# apt-get install linux-image-generic
# exit

Press ALT-F1 and finish the installation!

At reboot press ESC at the grub menu and choose the generic kernel to run!

Now you can remove the linux-image-server or change the /boot/grub/menu.lst to always boot from the generic kernel (default=2 for me) or keep pressing ESC at bootup ;)

2. Reparing a foobar installation

Boot from the install cd and type rescue at the first prompt (set boot sequence to cdrom in parallels).

When you get to the Rescue Operations screen choose "execute a shell in /dev/Ubuntu/root", this option may read a little differently on your system.

mount /dev/hda1 /boot
apt-get install linux-image-generic
exit

Now the resuce program will probably hang with the following error:

_pSLsys_getkey: EIO error

so to play nice with the disks we switch to ALT-F2 and umount the disks before rebooting:

umount /target/boot
umount /target
shutdown -h now

Have fun!
