Hello, Ubuntu forums.
After many attempts to burn an iso to CD for installation purposes [for some reason I could do it once but never again ><] I ordered a CD to be shipped.
Well, it came today! Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the old computer it was intended for had exactly 12 mb less ram then required...who ever heard of 244 mb ram?
Anyway.
I figured I'd try this nifty "Install Within Windows Like An Application" feature that comes with Hardy Heron [ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Desktop Edition 64-bit].
The problem is, when I try booting Ubuntu, there are plenty of lines and lines of white command code that I don't understand until it stops with something along the lines of
"Kernel Panic! Not aligned: Aiee, _____________________" ...unfortunately that's where my mind draws a blank, but it was something to do with an interruption? And it stopped there.
Anyway, I put the CD back in and went to see if it would work Live, which it does, everything is gorgeous except for the WiFi [which seems to be a common problem].
I have a Sony Vaio VGN - FE890, all standard, no mods or any sort of tinkering.
I realize that perhaps this problem is not fixable in the live version, but I'd like to know if there was a fix because right now I think I'd like to partition my HD [40 gigs to Windows, the other 102 to Ubuntu], and I don't really want to do it before I'm positive the problem can be resolved.
Sorry for the tl;dr, and thanks so much for any responses!!
