Re: Install problems with LinuxMint in mvmm



Once you get a grub menu, you need to specify 'noapic'.

Linux runs aggressive hw checks that fail under hypervisors (NVMM is not
to be blamed).

The right solution is to patch the Linux kernel and disable the checks
for NVMM and HAXM.

I then tried using “-append noacpi” on the QEMU command line, but that is only available with one also uses “-kernel”.  So I guess one can’t boot an installation CD this way.
