Try changing the resolution when Linux installer first boots up.
Are you using the M$ VPC or VmWare? What version Linux?

Re: Linux On Virtual PC

Installed a couple months ago, Debian, Red Hat, Suse, Win2k3 using MS VPC and had running them all togehtehr with out any probs.

probably somethings wrong with the bootloader. Try downloading bootable floppy images or create a floppy and after mounting it boot from it.

heres a quick link to HOWTOs for creating a floppy

Which MS VPC version you use btw?

Re: Linux On Virtual PC

Additional components are only for M$ OS's installed in the virtual session, doesn't work with non-M$ OSs. They do have Service Pack 1 released for VPC2004.
