Hi, i`ve tried installing many different distros of linux, so far, ubuntu, fedora, xandros, SimplyMepis, and all fail to install.

i`ve setup a virtual drive in virtual pc 2004, running under windows xp, i have allocated about 6gb, and 128mb ram to the virtual machine.

every time i mount the image and boot the VM, it gets to a point on loading the distor, and then i get

"kernel panic - not syncing: Attmepted to kill the idle task!"

why the heck wont it work. i read that it may require hyperthreading, but this intel chip doesnt have hyperthreading, but is EMT64.

what can i do?
