Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement bradr Thread Starter Joined: Jul 25, 2008 Messages: 55 Hi, I decided to install Ubuntu to my Virtual PC the other day, so I loaded the disk in (I had a disk around) to see if I could try out Ubuntu. The splash showed up and I selected the "Live" option or whatever it's called (I have the 8.04 one or something) and it loaded the Kernel to 100 percent and then it showed a black screen for 2 secs. and then a Unrecoverable Processor Error message popped up (for my Virtual PC). What happened? bradr, Sep 2, 2008 #1 Sponsor DoubleHelix Banned Joined: Dec 9, 2004 Messages: 24,388 I've never been able to successfully install any Linux distribution on VirtualPC. It is a Microsoft product after all. You might try VirtualBox instead for your virtual Linux systems.

Just use the LiveCD. lotuseclat79 has a good tutorial about using just LiveCD all the time.

Keep in mind that I want to install Ubuntu onto my Virtual PC, not just try it out. bradr, Sep 3, 2008 #4 Squashman Trusted Advisor Joined: Apr 4, 2003 Messages: 19,763 Not sure why you would try to install a Live CD as a VM. I know you definitely Google searched and found this link first before posting here. http://arcanecode.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/installing-ubuntu-804-under-microsoft-virtual-pc-2007/ You could also try the Wubi Installer. http://wubi-installer.org/ Squashman, Sep 3, 2008 #5 DoubleHelix Banned Joined: Dec 9, 2004 Messages: 24,388 There are lots of reasons to install Linux on an actual hard drive or, in this case, a virtual hard drive. Then you have a permanent Linux environment in which to save files, make configuration changes, install applications, etc. You don't need to do anything special. You just choose the option from within Linux to install to the hard drive.

Microsoft Virtual PC but pretty much as soon as Virtual PC boots from the CD image it gives the error ‘An unrecoverable processor error http://www.moorlandit.net/index.php/2008/09/an-unrecoverable-processor-error-has-been-encountered-installing-opensuse-11-on-ms-virtual-pc-2007-37/ has been encountered - the virtual machine will reset now' Googled the error and after various attempts I found that entering this boot option (just by typing it on the first installation menu screen you get) gets past the problem. From what I can figure it's some incompatibility between Microsoft Virtual PC and non Microsoft operating systems. noreplace-paravirt After OpenSUSE is installed and when an unrecoverable it first boots you'll have to use that parameter too and then add it as a permanent option to grub so you don't have to type it at every boot. Thanks to http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/391246-ms-vs-2k3-std-opensuse-11-a.html where I found this: YAST -> System -> Boot Loader -> choose openSUSE 11.0 & Edit -> add noreplace-paravirt to Optional Kernel Command Line Parameter at the end seperated by a space from the an unrecoverable processor others then OK and Finish.
