Hi,

I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 10.10 32- or 64-bit for the purposes of using the UCK to create a modified Ubuntu 10.10 for a LiveUSB Flash drive. So far, every attempt to install has resulted in the following error before I've had any opportunity to interact with the installation process:

The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A Desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again.

The error message is the same whether I install from an ISO or optical disc. I have checksummed the Ubuntu downloads and they pass. I have followed the KB instructions to completely uninstall Parallels Desktop 6 and re-installed.

The virtual machine configuration is as follows:

CPUs - 1
Memory - 256MB
Boot Order - CD/DVD; HDD 1
Video Memory - 64MB; 3D acceleration enabled; Vertical sync enabled
Floppy Disk - Disabled
CD/DVD 1 - SATA 0:2
HDD 1 - SATA 0:1; Expanding 32GB disk
Network 1 - Connected; Shared
Sound - Connected; Input: Null device; Output: Built-in Output; Channels: Stereo
USB Controller - No USB devices connected

Options:

Startup View - Window
Optimization - Faster Mac; Better Performance
Security - Isolate Mac from Linux; Undo disks disabled
Advanced - Auto SmartMouse; Time synced with Mac

My Mac:

OS X 10.6.6 with all updates as-of date of this post
Mac Pro 2010 w/ AMD HD 5770
Parallels 6, latest version as-of date of this post

There are no reports in the Console relating to Parallels.

Anyone able to offer some constructive advice?

Ta,

S.
