Me neither. Victor also didn't succeed.

But there was a guy ( see the link on that page), who booted the grub iso in qemu. It was a development version that day, but I never got it up completely in qemu. Virtualbox crashes in the beginning (no support for the newest kernel at the moment).

I can boot Parted Magic 3.0 in qemu now!
You have to add the 'noeject' option to the isolinux entry of the Parted Magic menu.

Parted Magic 3 and UBCD V5.
Will Parted Magic 3 be added to UBCD V5?
I use Virtual Box and have had no problems emulateing newer versions of the Linux kernal. I have not yet tried Parted Magic as I am wateing till UBCD 5 is out of beta to test it.

Yes, Parted Magic 3.0 will be added to UBCD.
Which version of VirtualBox are you using? In my case it didn't work (VirtualBox 1.6.2, Linux version). Only when I add the noreplace-paravirt option, it works. Other distributions which use the newest kernel also didn't work with VirtualBox (Ubuntu for example).

The most curent.
I have the most current version of virtual Box. I downloaded it about a week or 2 ago. I am not sure as I am at work but I'll let you know when I can. I also was able to install ubuntu 8.04 with no problems. Do remember when installing the Virtual box aditions you must be root user. Also may have to re-install the virtual Box aditions when kernal is updated as it dose make changes to the kernal. I see no reason why UBCD dosen't work in there. I will test it out when I can which may not be till next week as long as I have no problems downloading UBCD V5.

UBCD50 doesn't have problems in a virtual machine. Parted Magic 3.0 does. In the current beta of UBCD5 (UBCD5b4), there is no problem with booting Parted Magic because it is still version 2.2.
I was talking about the new Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10), which is in alpha stage.
See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intre ... bug/246067 for the booting problems in VirtualBox.
See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule for the release schedule of Ubuntu.

Can everyone test the Parted Magic 3.0 image in as many as emulators as possible? Test which parameters you have to add to the standard isolinux boot option.
I tested the following emulators all ready:
Qemu 0.9.1:
Add noeject.
VirtualBox 1.6.2:
Add noreplace-paravirt.
Can someone see, which option works for VMware, Virtual PC, ...?
@ as702: Can you give me the option for VMware?
If your emeulator hangs at the beginning of the boot process, you need to add the noreplace-paravirt option.
If your emulator hangs at the following message:
you need to add the noeject option.
Add the xforcevesa option if you have display problems.
I need this info so that I can make a config file specific for emelators, so I can post it at the Parted Magic forum.

seemed to work. this time, it managed to get past the initial hang at point:
now i just have a command prompt (typing "menu" does nothing). also, VirtualPC is a lost cause.
does this help? or am i doing something wrong?
tried this:
Code: Select all

I always try the Safe Graphics Settings (vga=normal) option (no splashy). There you can see what Parted Magic is doing.
If you see something like:
And then file is truncated (don't know the exact message anymore), you have to increase the amount of ram for your emulator.
It must be at least 256MB (according to Patrick Verner (author of Parted Magic)). I always set it to 350MB.
If you see something like:
Code: Select all
ldconfig: writing of cash data failed
It must be at least 256MB (according to Patrick Verner (author of Parted Magic)). I always set it to 350MB.
Try for VPC2007:
noeject noreplace-paravirt xforcevesa
Add those parameters first to the fail save option
If it works. Add them to the Safe Graphics Settings (vga=normal) option.
It is not that strange that it won't work in VPC2007, it is a Microsoft product and it designed in the first place to work with different windows versions.
The info at the Microsoft website doesn't even list linux as a supported guest OS.
