Hi Mark,

I have tried that already, but have had no luck. On CentOS 5.1 trying to 
install Ubuntu as a Fully Virtualized guest, it doesn't go further than 
the boot loader. I don't know why, and can't see anything in the logs 
why either.
Installing it as a PV guest, I need to run through some debootstrap 
stuff, as per this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630886
But, I get stuck where I need to run "update-grub" - which I don't have 
on my system.
