Does it boot in single user mode?

 

[cricfan]

no ..goes past grub and then this screen and system stops..

Use mature virtualization products like VMware or VirtualBox.

Give it a shot with kernel parameters noapic first and then try noprobe. don't forget to add single to the kernel command line to boot in single user mode.

AFAIK linux hosts are not official supported on Virtual PC but are (somewhat) officially supported on Virtual Server (not sure if it runs on Vista though)

If you must use Microsoft's (substandard) virtualization, try Virtual Server too.

Try this: The Sean Blog : Installing Fedora 9 (Sulphur) in Virtual PC 2007

That blog has links to posts for fedora 6,7,8 too, so you can try those steps as well.

I don't think any of those steps are applicable though. I suppose your best best would be virtual server..
