Description of problem: When boot of install CD for FC2 under Virtual PC an Invalid Operand error occurs. This works fine using FC1 install CD FYI. I also tested it under FC3 Test1 and it fails there too. I tried using mem=xxxM-32 as suggesting in another bug which was similar but didnt fix problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2 standard ISO image CD. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from install CD 2. 3.

Just determined that the problem does not happen if I run Virtual PC on top of XP Professional which is stated as required. I was running XP/HE when problem occurred. However FC1 does function properly under XP/HE with Virtual PC just FC2 and FC3-test1 fail. So you may or may not accept this as a problem. Either way is fine for me and this information should be helpful for anyone else with the same problem.
