Installing Ubuntu Server 8.10 under Parallels

I found some very useful links about how to install Ubuntu under Parallels:

http://www.theosquest.com/2007/12/29/installing-ubuntu-710-server-under-parallels/

Here is the changes I made to the sequence of things, after installation completes, go BACK and ENTER SHELL and run these commands:


umount /dev/scd0
chroot /target /bin/bash
mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom
aptitude install linux-generic
aptitude remove linux-server linux-image-server linux-image-2.6.27-7-server
exit
shutdown -h now


I still get the ACPI warning, however the machine boots.

And upon shutdown, I get the "Unable to iterate IDE devices" message, and after the machine halts, Parallels still thinks it's running.
