Have you try by performing a completely new install (by downloading a new iso image and verifying the checksum before installing)? Maybe something got messed-up and VM can be very "picky" when they find things they don't like. Also, debugging virtual machines is not an easy (neither pleasure) task :-) > I'm still pretty much a noob on Linux, so please be gentle :) Suggestions provided by other list users (like testing with another virtual machine) are also a very good idea. Why? - First, because is what many of us would have done in your same situation (it is very rare that running a simple "ps" command halts with "illegal instruction", that error message comes from the virtual machine, so VM is the first suspect here). - Second, because Virtual PC is not a very good virtual machine (it lacks for many basic functions, technically speaking, there are better choices, such VirtualBox or Vmware Server). A quick view of Wikipedia virtual machines comparison chart states so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_platform_virtual_machines - Third, because by you'll get further (and better) support, at least from anyone here... being this a Debian user list, is not very probable that some of us were running a VM that cannot be installed in Debian by any means (well, maybe could be installed from Wine :-P).
