I'm lost.
I tired to install Ubuntu on an install of VMWare Server 1.0 on a Windows 2000
SP4 box. The machine has 640M of RAM and a Celeron M 1.4GHz CPU.
The install process itself was slow, as Ubuntu makes heavy usage of the VESA
framebuffer at boot and VMWare hates that.
However, what is causing me the most pain is that, if left unattentioned --
i.e. I'm so bored I walk away from the laptop during install and don't touch
it -- I find when I come back that the guest OS has simply hung up. Of
course, it unhangs when you interact with it, but any _long running_
processes are violated. For example, the install progress will have simply
hung at, say, 40%, but obviously I can interactive with the console as if
nothing had happened.
So, seriously, what the freak? This is seriously annoying me. It happens
under both the X and text installs, so it isn't a framebuffer thing.
Thanks.
