Has anybody else had a problem installing Ubuntu 9.04
(ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso) guest with Virtual box 2.2
(VirtualBox-2.2.0-45846-OSX.dmg) on MacOS 10.5.6 host? The installer
dies halfway through the installation with an error saying something
like, "there was a problem reading from the CD drive, please try
cleaning and re-installing"... I've got virtual dust!
I'm running Vista. I first had that with a DVD of 8.10 which I assumed
was flaky, but it happened again when I downloaded Xubuntu 9.04 and
tried to go from an ISO on the hard disk.
I did get an install, I:
- reduced guest RAM to 512M from 1024M.
- set the IDE controller to the oldest one
I suspect the IDE emulation myself.
(Now, you'd think that given the popularity of Ubuntu, this would be
noticed in testing wouldn't you?)
