Fedora over Ubuntu Sun, 27 Jan 08
Want to install Fedora 7 or 8 in a virtual machine on Ubuntu Gutsy?
You have tried VMWare and cannot install it? Fedora freeze in loading and/or cannot find virtual disk?

Well, this is my today problem!
It seems that those version of Fedora don’t like too much the buslogic virtual SCSI controller used by qemu and vmware. So, whenever you are using an IDE virtual disk, it still find the virtual controller.

To solve this problem in VMWare, edit the .vmx file of your virtual machine and add

scsi0.virtualdev = “lsilogic”

to use the lsilogic virtual controller, or if you wish to not use SCSI at all add

scsi0:0.present = “FALSE”

to disable any virtual SCSI controller.

scsi0.virtualdev = "lsilogic"

scsi0:0.present = "FALSE"
