Ubuntu 6.06 Server boot problem

quist · Jul 1, 2007

I am running Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac on an intel iMac.
When trying to install and run Ubuntu 6.06 Server as the guest
OS (the install went fine from the iso file). The start-up hangs
at the stage:

boot
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel

There are no other error message.

Thanks if anyone can help.

I have a similar problem with RHEL ES 4.4 on a MacPro. Install seems good, but it hangs in the same place upon restart.

Its a well known problem just follow the steps in the Parallels Knowledgebase acticle, worked fine for me two days ago.

The tip in http://kb.parallels.com/entry/31/276/ didn't quite work for me, as I'm running Ubuntu dapper (6.06), which apparently doesn't have the linux-generic package (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3096290#post3096290).

However, doing `apt-get install linux-image-386` did the trick.
