Hi,


I would really like to use Ubuntu 6.x or Fedora 6 inside a linux vm. However with the current version of Parallels I can't start the VM with more than 512MB (granted its not exactly 512MB, but I want to allocated like 800MB to the VM and I can't). Is this a Parallels issue or a Linux vendor issue? if its a Parallels issue are they working on it?

For now I can get by using Fedora 5 with the mem=nopentium kernel flag.

I just want to understand if Parallels is aware of the issue and what the status is.

Thanks in advance. Scott.
 
How much ram do you have? Parallels won't let you starve OSX if you don't have enough RAM to allocate to your VM. Just a guess.
 
Nah my ram is fine, I have 2GB. Parallels lets me set it to the 800MB I desire, but when u start the VM you get weird errors from the linux kernel.
