Problem after kvm install - error: unknown command 'terminal'

[MikeDawg]

Hi,

I'm having a difficult time trying to install BackTrack 5r3 as a VM in KVM (linux virtualization). I am able to boot just fine off the DVD, and load up BT as a LiveCD, however, I run into errors after I attempt to install.

After completing the install, it asks to reboot, when rebooted, I get the screen as pictured in the attachment. It displays the following errors:

error: no suitable mode found.
error: unknown command 'terminal'.
unalisgned pointer 0x18201281
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

I have played around with the grub.cfg file in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and through configuration options in there, I've been able to remove most errors, except the unknown command 'terminal'.

I was curious as to if anyone has experience with installing BackTrack 5r3 as a KVM. I've also attempted an install with BackTrack 5r2 and experienced the same issues.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Switch your VM to cirrus graphic card. This should solve the problem.

Perfect, I tried a couple of the other video cards, but I didn't think to try all, and try the Cirrus. This fixed the problem!

Thank You!
