Comment 2 Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 2007-08-12 02:19:30 EDT

Does it work if you choose the other SCSI controller during the VM setup?

Comment 3 Scott 2007-08-13 22:08:41 EDT

Since you asked, I gave that a try and it worked. The install went fine.

But I'd like to point out that I've not had this problem running Fedora 7 in a 
VM.
