Blurred Visions

Tried to install Ubuntu Server 6.1.0. The installation went fine, but on the first boot, got the following error:

unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060 c0100295 00000294

The install was a dead duck...

Found this article on the Parallels support site that saw me through. Required steps were as follows:

1) Boot from CD, type 'rescue' at the prompt to launch the rescue kernel image;
2) Follow the bouncing ball, and answer the questions. I had to set up the NIC addressing manually.
3) Select the option: "Execute a shell in /dev/hda1"
4) Install the generic kernel: (you will need an Internet connection...)

4.1) apt-get install linux-image-generic
4.2) exit

5) The installer hung. Pressed (fn*) ALT-F2 to get to a different console;
6) Unmounted the live disk: umount /dev/hda1
7) Rebooted: shutdown -r now
8) When logged in to the new system, change the GRUB default to boot the Generic Kernel:

8.1) vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
8.2) change the line "default 0" to "default 2"

9) reboot.
