Installing Ubuntu 8.10 in Virtual PC 2004

Create new virtual pc, boot from the iso image, and then...

  • Hit [F6] and choose safe graphics mode
  • Hit [F4] and change the command prompt by removing "quiet splash" and adding the following in its place:
    • i8042.noloop noreplace-paravirt vga=791
  • After you boot for the first time, you will need to hit esc, and choose the kernel to edit and add the fix there too
  • You will also need to add the fix command line into the /boot/grub/menu.lst once you get into Ubuntu itself
