Crash Fedora Core 9 on MSVirtualPC 2007.

Hi! Fedora Core 9 on MSVirtualPC 2007 fail. See attached screen. ISO is correct (checked). LiveCD and LiveKDE crashes too. When FC9 starts choose "Install..." (both from top). And after some seconds will be crash...

In the same VirtualPC configuration Fedora Core 8 work correct.

Use kernel option noreplace-paravirt. You don’t need the i8042.noloop option if using VPC2007, but I think you still need it with VPC2004, maybe with VPC2004-SP1 too. The rest looks the same as for F8 (I didn’t test this completely, for now I don’t have enough time to do it).

That worked perfect for me, I believe the i8042.noloop is used for wonky video once the gui install starts.

No, i8042.noloop is for the ‘mouse stuck in the center of the display’ problem. Since some mouse probing does not work on some systems, developers added special cases, by listing known system names/ IDs, when this i8042.noloop is taken automatically. Sometime ago, they added the ID for VPC2007 (‘VS2005R2’), which is the same as the one for MS Virtual Server 2005 R2, to the list. I think, but have not verified, VPC2004 and VPC2004-SP1 have a different ID, so for them the i8042.noloop may still be needed. And Microsoft just released VPC2007-SP1…

SaGS - thanks a lot! Kernel option "noreplace-paravirt" solved a problem!
