Thanks for following up.
512MB is not enough to install in a VM, it requires at least between 750MB and 800MB otherwise you'll experience all kind of trouble including kernel errors (e.g 790712)

Maybe a note should be added to the minimal requirements specs https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-guide/i386/minimum-hardware-reqts.html
