Okay, I'm pretty new to this... what I'm currently attempting to do is install ubuntu 8.10 to my macbook with leopard as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop. I'm trying to boot ubuntu from a disk image, and I get the loading screen for ubuntu. all looks alright, with two exceptions. it is saying my scsi controller isn't installed, and in the end it tells me that no boot device is available, and doesn't load any further.
I only slightly know what I'm doing, although I'm pretty comfortable working in the terminal. I'm running os x 10.5.5 and ubuntu 8.10, maybe it's a compatibility issue that I don't know about, or perhaps I am missing an obvious step, or perhaps trying to do something much more complicated than i thought, but in any case i humbly present this problem to all of you on this site in the hopes of receiving the knowledge and information that i seek. I thank you all in advance.
