Public bug reported:
This is a new VM image using the latest Parallels product, Build 3188 (March 7).
The VM is configured with 512MB Memory, a 12GB virtual disk, CD, networking,
and sound.
The actual hardware is a Macbook with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB memory,
using a Samsung Syncmaster 244T and a Logitech USB marble mouse .
I am booting from the new kubuntu-7.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso.
I get the initial Kubuntu Live CD menu from the CD. After pressing Enter to
boot, the following messages appear:
Loading casper [plus other information not recorded)
Loading casper [plus other information]
ACPI: Unable to locate RSDP
Loading, please wait
After the above messages flash briefly on the screen, the screen goes blank.
Within a few seconds all disk I/O seems to stop and the CPU utilization for
Parallels drops to <10%. Nothing seems to happen at that point until I give up
and reset the machine.
Based on the feedback from another incident I reduced the VM memory to 380MB
but this did not seem to affect the outcome.
I also tried booting with the option "live acpi=off" but this got the same
results except for eliminating the ACPI error message.
Note: I can successfully boot Windows XP and OpenSUSE 10.2 on similar VMs on
this same Macbook.
Note: while working on this problem I attempted to boot using the "live-expert"
boot option. This resulted in a message "could not find kernel image:
live-expert". The "memtest" option worked as expected (not that I thought
there was a memory problem, I wanted to see if that option worked even though
"live-expert" did not.)
