Select Configure. Select Startup. Check the box next to Linux (you will have to scroll down). Hit OK. If prompted to install Linux compatible binaries, select the affirmative response (yes or continue). The install should modify your /ect/fstab file to include a line that looks like: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 It may not look exactly like that, but something close. When you ran the install, it should have asked you if you wanted to install Linux binary compatibility and you selected no. This is usually a bad idea unless you know you won't run any software written for the linux kernel.
