Get a black screen on Ubuntu 7.10

Why do i keep on getting a black screen after trying to run Ubuntu 7.10 on Vmware and Virtualbox?

 would try safe graphics mode or picking your own resolution to see if you can get anything. i had a b*tch of a time getting ubuntu to work in parallels because it kept trying to start in a resolution that parallels couldn’t handle. find the F key for other options (F4 or 5 i think?) then pick a different resoltion (600×800x16 or something)

that would be my first attempt. i know getting linux to run in these virtual machines can be tricky sometimes. i would google exactly what your trying to do and see if anyone else has worked out the bugs for you.

last resort could be getting an alternate install cd and going at it from a command line.
