Solution for "Kernel panic: CPU too old for this kernel" when installing Ubuntu on Parallels

Shell Script (Bash) posted 10 months ago by christian

If you get this error on Mac OSX when using Parallels:

   1  Kernel panic: CPU too old for this kernel.

Set the image to boot from CD. In rescue mode open a shell and run the following to install a new kernel:

   1  apt-get update
   2  apt-get install linux-386
   3  apt-get remove linux-server
