2 more things that you can try:
1. verify the md5sum of the ISO/CD you burned to make sure that it mathes
the md5sum from the Official Ubuntu mirror (if they don't match, you will
need to re-download the ISO or burn the media unto a different CD using
another computer -- if possible. In vmware you can also use ISO files
directly, so, no need to waste CDs trying. Just assign the ISO itself to a
device)
2. change your disk type from SCSI to IDE. SCSI is the default and it works
great, but, every now and then it just bombs you. IDE always work, at least
for me. Just go to your virtual machine settings and remove the device, then
add an IDE disk.
hope that helps

Greetings,
To start, here are my System Specs:
Dell Latitude D800 Laptop computer
2GHz Pentium processor with Centrino mobile technology
1GB of RAM
60GB hard drive
NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5650 128MB video card
OS: Windows 2000 Professional SP4
VMware Workstation version 5.5.1 build-19175
Situation:
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Draker) as a guest OS.
I'm configuring the virtual machine as follows:
Typical > Linux > Ubuntu > bridged networking > disk size: 4GB > Allocate
disk space now
I've used the 'CD check' option in Ubuntu to verify that the install CD is
defect free. The installation completes, reboots, then hangs at:
---
Booting 'Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-23-server'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-server root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1c00, size=0x16b75f]
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-23-server
[Linux-initrd @ 0xf840000, 0x69f606 bytes]
savedefault
boot
Uncompressing Linux... OK, boot the kernel.
---
Then the system just hangs from there
I'm a newbie to Linux so I'm really not sure how to resolve this problem.
I've had previous versions of Ubuntu installed and running on VMware
workstation.
Some users suggest adding acpi=off noacpi to the following kernel boot
parameter:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-server root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
acpi=off noacpi
I tired this and the system still hangs after Uncompressing Linux... ok,
booting the kernel.
Today I used the same Ubuntu install cd to create a virtual machine in the
same version of VMware workstation but on a different computer running
Windows 2003 and it worked.
Figuring it might be an OS issue, I went back to my laptop and booted into
my Windows XP installation (I have a dual-boot system: Win2k Pro & WinXP
Pro) and tried installing an Ubuntu virtual machine using the same
installation disk and version of VMware workstation - it didn't work. Again,
the installation hung at 'uncompressing linux' when trying to boot.
So obviously Ubuntu 6.06 + VMware workstation 5.5.1 + a Dell latitude D800
= doesn't work.
What is it about this combination that doesn't work? Please help!
