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

Shell Script (Bash) posted about 1 year 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
