f9, f10alpha kernels under virtualpc

[John Summerfield]

I tried to boot the F10alpha 386 boot.iso (from os/images) and an f9 
netinstall.iso (or vice versa, I'm easily confused) under Microsoft's 
Virtual PC on Windows XP.

CentOS5 and various Debian/Ubuntu variations work fine.

I get a popup to then effect

"An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered"

"The virtual system will reset now."
and a "reset" button for me to click when I've read the message.

There's nothing in the event Applications event log.

The F9 kernel's last message is, "SMP Alternatives: switching to UP 
mode." and F10A goes one further, "debug: unmapping init memory c07d5000 
c07d8000"

This the same DC7700 I mentioned a few minutes ago, and hardware 
virtualisation is enabled.


I'm going to look for a virtualPC update, in the meantime, does anyone 
have any clues?
