    Running a virtual server

    I was unsure whether this would be a problem with Ubuntu, Installation,
    Servers, a Linux application or my newbie-ness. So I have posted in the lounge
    instead of all of those

    I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and I am trying to set up a virtual server using
    VirtualBox. Ubuntu server (I have tried 8.04 and 6.06) will install OK but when
    the VM reboots it will will not start. It gets as far as saying it has uncompressed
    the Linux kernel and that it is running it.

    Nothing else happens.

    There was an issue with 8.04 where it installed the wrong kernel, but a quick
    Google revealed the solution. This got it to the state above!

    I have been unable to find any forensic evidence so I am a bit stumped!

    I am going to re-install VirtualBox and try again, but any ideas would be
    gratefully received.

    Fixing this turns out to be easy...

    Reboot using the CD or Image
    Select Repair a broken installation
    When you get to the terminal run the following


    apt-get update
    apt-get install linux-386
    apt-get remove linux-server

    Can a mod move this to the Ubuntu forum as it turned
    out to be an Ubuntu issue?

    Thanks
