Unfortunately, FC2 will not install in Virtual PC due to polymorphic code in the kernel. I've taken this up with Red Hat and Microsoft. I get the same answer from both: it's the other developer's fault. Microsoft won't accommodate Linux and Red Hat doesn't feel that the problem warrants a rewrite of the code by them or Linus. The only solutions are to use VmWare or other hardware... -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike McCollister Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 11:16 AM To: Red Hat Fedora LIST Subject: Installing Fedora Core 2 on Virtual PC Hi, I have tried to install Fedora Core 2 on Virtual PC (in Windows XP) but can't get it past the first reboot. During the install, I had to use text mode as the graphical mode install would not work. After the first reboot I get a series of segmentation faults. For example, one of the lines is /etc/X11/prefdm: line 47: 323 Segmentation fault which gdm >/dev/null 2>&1 I've booted from the DVD and went into rescue mode and changed the xorg.conf file to use 24 or 32 bit mode without any success. I also set the init level to 3 and it boots into text mode OK. However, when I type a command like "more xorg.conf" I get a segmentation fault but if I type the command again there is no fault. Any suggestions or has anyone gotten Core 2 to install on Virtual PC? Thanks, Mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
