Virtual PC problems with Fedora Core 2
Today I was starting to install Fedora Core 2 (Final Release) on my Virtual PC and, after the first boot from the ISO CD, the window that I was praying to never see has appeared me:
"An internal virtual machine error (13) has occurred."
This window appears during the installation process when Anaconda (the fedora installer) attempts to start the X server.
Terrible... I was thinking that Fedora was supported by Virtual PC. I've checked on Google to find solutions to this problem, but seems that Fedora Core 2 (Final) can't be installed under Virtual PC.
Has anyone find the same problem?
On Red Hat's BugZilla I've found these thread about this problem:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119838
and:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124251
and reading them seems to be a serious problem. 
I think that the VPC team must take the problem in consideration... Fedora Core 2 is a widespread distribution and the impossibility to use it under VPC is frustrating! 
UPDATE: just tryed also to install Fedora Core 2 under VMWare... the installation go to a completion but, when you reboot the virtual machine, there's a problem at the X-server loading. Maybe tomorrow I'll check for it... now I think it's time to turn off my pc!
