Hello,
as I saw all the tutorials about installing Ubuntu in MS virtual pc 2007. I wanted to try to install Xubuntu myself as VPC is my usual virtualization tool. Now my problem differs from what the others encountered. On my Dell latitude D810 (XP SP3, 2GB RAM) the install cd image doesn’t even boot. My next step was to try it on my workstation (Core2Quad 2.4GHz, XP SP3, 4GB Ram). There I could perform the whole installation. It works fine.
Back to my laptop: I copied the virtual machine over. It doesn’t boot. It displays GRUB, I get the “Starting up” and that was it. The task manager shows a 100% processor load. But nothing happens. After 15 minutes I killed it. If I remove the “quiet splash” in the grub boot line (in the grub menu at startup) I don’t see anything else. It stops before anything starts. Both VPC configurations are default, VPC service pack 1 is installed.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Fabian
