I think I did everything right...
I built a VirtualMachine. Selected Ubuntu as the type. Booted Simply Mephis 6.04, which loads the "live CD".
In the Live CD, I run the install. Format the 'virtual disk', install grub, etc.
When the install is finished, it prompts for a reboot. Reboot brings up the kernel panic error.
This is my first attempt to install anything into a VM. I instaled VMwareServer yesterday for the first time. I've tried this installation 3 times now, so I'm any help would be appreciated!
Regards, and THANKS!
