Host System: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bit
Guest: Ubuntu 10.04 (ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso) 32 bit
VM: VirtualBox 3.1.8
Hardware: Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 4GB SDRAM
I followed the tutorial called Installing Ubuntu inside Windows using VirtualBox located here:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox)
At first I downloaded ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso because I figured that it would be a perfect fit with my Vista 64 OS. I was wrong because it turns out the my Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 CPU does not have Intel® Virtualization Technology. So I had to go with the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso which is 32 bit. This got me to the point where I could actually create the Ubuntu VM.
So I set up the VM in VirtualBox to prepare for the Ubuntu 10.04 virtualization. Please go to my Picassa web album (http://picasaweb.google.com/rubysiddhi/ProblemVirtualizingUbuntu100432BitOnVirtualBox31On WindowsVista64) to see the screen shots of my VM settings and Ubuntu boot process so you can see what I experienced (they appear in the order that I experienced them in). The first 17 images are the VM settings. The last 8 show Ubuntu 10.04 booting up but ultimately failing. Perhaps there is a clue in there that can help solve this problem.
I should also mention that I found this post (http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479428) in the Ubuntu forums by zonination who seemed to have similar problems to mine even though they had a different set up. The main issue I think zonination and me may be having is the fact that we can not change the color mode to 32 bit while it is booting. I think the 16 bit color mode maybe making Ubuntu fail. Not certain though.
Well I hope I explained my problem thoroughly and clearly. Thanks for the tutorial. It got me started but, now I hope to finish this process so I can start developing in Ubuntu.
Thanks!
Regards,
Adam
