Description of problem: Installation of Fedora 9 Beta in graphic mode does not work in a VirtualBox virtual machine Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - Fedora 8 host - Virtual Box 1.5.6 How reproducible: Every time in graphic mode Steps to Reproduce: 1/ Create a new virtual machine with following specifications : guest system : Linux 2.6 kernel memory : 768 MB disk : 8 GB dynamic image video memory : 64 LB virtual CD Rom drive with file Fedora-9-Beta-i386-DVD.iso mounted in it 2/ Start installation from DVD iso image in graphic mode Actual results: Installion fails with a message as where is no disk where to install Expected results: Additional info: When installing in text mode following message is displayed : << The partition table on device sda was unreadable. To create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drive. This operation will override any previous installation choices about which drives to ignore. Would you like to initialize this drive, erasing ALL DATA ? >> If I accept to initialize the device, installation works fine.
If I try to initialize the partition table with GParted before to start Fedora 9 installation, installation in graphic mode fails anyway with same message about disk.
This problem is fixed in Fedora 9 Preview
