Using a 2.6 stock kernel with Virtual PC 7.0.2



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Has anyone managed to get a Virtual PC instance on Mac OS X to boot one of the stock 2.6 kernels? My instance boots up without issue on a 2.4 kernel, but there's an immediate oops when trying to use either the current 2.6.8 or 2.6.11 kernels from the repository.
    The last lines that display on bootup with a 2.6 kernel are:
[...]
  Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.11-1.686 '

root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro
   [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1600, size=0x12fac0]
initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.11-1-686
   [Linux-initrd @ 0x1fb78000, 0x477000 bytes'
savedefault
boot
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
_
[...]

At this point the instance pauses and an error dialog is displayed stating "An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered. The PC will restart now."
