Hi,

I am trying to run SC linux as a virtual pc within Windows XP. I downloaded
virtual pc 2004 and installed SC Linux 4.2.  Everything went fine with the
installation but I can not boot the virtual machine.  Once it starts booting
the kernel I get various segmentation faults until the boot fails.

I am using a Dell optiplex 745, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.39GHz, 2 GB or ram.

Thanks,

David Beauregard



Here is the output from the virtual pc.
