Correction: I have been able to install Ubuntu 10.04 32bit Desktop Edition on 
MS Virtual PC 2007.
I used the kernel params:
vga=791 noreplace-paravirt

After the reboot, I interrupted the boot process and again added the
same params in grub and successfully booted Lucid Lynx.

However: I simply can't get the Server Edition CD (I'm trying 32bit) to boot 
under MS Virtual PC at all.
I've tried Modes: "Normal", "minimal server", "minimal virtual server".
I've tried combinations of the above mentioned params, but I either get a 
garbled screen or VPC dies with an "unrecoverable proccessor error".
vga=788, vga=791 all produce a strange garbled console.
When I use vga=0xf01 (80x50 VGA mode) or vga=0xf07 (80x60 VGA mode) I can at 
least see how far the boot process gets before it dies. (Screenshot attached)

That error usually indactes a missing "noreplace-paravirt", is the server image 
ignoring this option?
Are there other options I could try?
