Trying to install Ubuntu 8 beta in VirtualPC2007

Tue Apr 01, 2008 11:40 pm

As soon as I try to run the setup, Virtual PC stops and gives the error
An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered.

The virtual machine will now reset.


I downloaded the i386 version because I know VPC only allows 32 bit guest OS's

It works for me using innotek VirtualBox.
I don't have Virtual PC, so I couldn't tell you any more...
