My Ibex is virtually panicking!

[Alan_Dacey at horizonblue.com]

        I want to check out Intrepid but I do not want to install it on my 
only machine since I go to 
college online.  I do not have enough hard drive space to make another 
partition to install it on 
so I decided that I would make a virtual machine.  I use the latest 
version of VirtualBox on 
Kubuntu 8.04.  My problem is that every time I try to install 8.10 I get a 
kernel panic.  Here is 
what I did and got the same problem with each using Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and 
the alternate CD's.   
        Downloaded the iso file.  MD5 sum is correct.  Made a new virtual 
machine.  Panic from iso 
as boot disk after I try to install.  Burn disk at 4X to use as a boot 
disk and yes I did that 
correctly.  Make a new virtual machine.  Panic from CD as boot disk after 
I try to install.  I also 
get a kernel panic when I try to check the CD's or iso's for defects. 
 Memtest works fine but that 
doesn't use the kernel, I think. 
        I have a couple of virtual machines from DOS 6.2 to XP, Kubuntu 
8.04 with KDE 4, and a few 
other linux distros so I know how to work with Vbox.  I know how to edit 
files inside an iso, if 
that would fix this.  I've been on *buntu for almost a year, use AIX at 
work and overcame heinous 
upgrade and nvidia problems (envy is a godsend, thank you Alberto!) so I 
guess I've graduated from 
noob.  I can't find anything useful about this on the internets and I have 
no chickens for 
voodoo.  If anyone has some ideas I would love to try them out.  I can't 
wait until October :-(
